The Guardian's William Fotheringham introduces a rare screening of 'A Sunday in Hell', the classic documentary on Paris-Roubaix, cycling's toughest one-day race. Zahara Jolie-Pitt’s Spelman classmates hoping for Brad Pitt appearance on campus despite estrangement In the end, it made me want to watch the film again (and 'Stars and Watercarriers' for good measure), which has to be taken as a sign that Mr Fotheringham has done a great job. Verdict In 1973, he made 'Stars and Watercarriers', a feature-length documentary about the Giro d'Italia. The action is shot on a single camera, but filmed over the entire duration of the event. 'A Sunday in Hell' was an altogether more ambitious project – an attempt to capture the entire narrative of a one-day Classic, bringing together the various aspects of the event – the organisation, the support crews, the spectators, the media and, of course, the riders. In the end, more than 30 cameras were used, including some ground-breaking helicopter shots using image-stabilising technology for the first time in the coverage of cycle racing. William Fotheringham's latest book, Sunday in Hell, tells the story behind the making of the famous film of the 1976 edition of the Paris-Roubaix classic of the same name. Along the way he paints fascinating portraits of the professional racing scene of the era and some of the biggest names in cycling, with the bonus of an education in Danish avant-garde film-making to boot.

The fact that "Hell's Kitchen" changes up some of Keys' most familiar songs, to better fit the plot, might help de-jukebox-ify the show. "I like it that she's doing it herself," Brantley said. "I like it when familiar songs sound fresh. You like to think that, especially her fan base, will have listened to those songs so often, that they may be sort of startled." Young adults in the 1950s or, like, 1940s would be singing along with 'Some Enchanted Evening' from 'South Pacific,'" Brantley said. Then, there were concept albums turned into stage musicals, like "Jesus Christ Superstar."

He said that musicals have been borrowing from pop music for decades, although, in the old days, musicals were pop music, with a lot of top-selling albums in those days being Broadway cast albums. Pearson was shunned by other evangelical leaders, branded a heretic and later became a United Church of Christ minister. Higher Dimensions ultimately lost its building to foreclosure and Pearson preached his final sermon there in September 2008 as the church was absorbed into All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa. There is a term for shows built around pop hits: Jukebox musicals, a term Brantley has employed: "When I was using that in the early days, when they were first emerging in droves, I suppose I used it, if not with contempt, then it was with cynicism, because it seemed like such a lazy way to put a show together."William is the author of a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film: 'Sunday in Hell: Behind the Lens of the Greatest Cycling Film of All Time'. William will discuss the inside story of the film and the race, and there will be a chance to ask your own questions after the screening.
