Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NED BEATTY (right) has been in a number of classy movies over the years - from Network through Deliverance to The Big Easy and Nashville. He is also currently starring in the latest offering from Robert Altman, Cookie's Fortune. But perhaps his finest hour came in Hear My Song (8pm FilmFour), a charming romantic comedy from Peter Chelsom. Beatty plays Josef Locke, a 1950's singer with such a beautiful voice it made women weep. At the peak of his fame, he was compelled to skip Britain and disappear for tax reasons. Now a down-on-his- luck concert promoter (Adrian Dunbar) is trying to locate him to boost his failing venue.
Elizabeth Taylor, Burl Ives and Paul Newman shine in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (11.30pm TNT), Richard Brooks's well-made adaptation of the famous Tennessee Williams play.
