I don't know if anyone else here gets the Canadian television channel
"TVOntario", but each Saturday evening they show classic films, along
with very good interviews with cast/crew discussing the film
(excellent stuff for students of film studies, actually).

Tonight they're showing Michael Cimino's 1980 epic film, "Heaven's
Gate", followed by interviews which includes: "Former Head of
Production at United Artists Steven Bach dispels the myth behind
Heaven's Gate, sharing production stories and the real reason behind
the company's fall."

Obviously that in itself has nothing to do with Leni Riefenstahl, but
as we've discussed here on this list -- er, that is, the old list ;)
-- Steven Bach is the author of an apparently very well-researched
book about Leni, to be released very soon (within the next few
weeks). So although there's no mention of Leni in tonight's TVO
interviews, if anyone is interested then at least one will get to
actually "see" (and also "hear", of course) the author of this
forthcoming biography.
