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.Subtitled "A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson", this memoir of the director, who died in 1994, is delivered by his old friend Malcolm McDowell (below) in the form of a one-man show. Mingling anecdote with excerpts from letters and diaries, McDowell pays tribute to the man who gave him his break with If... in 1968 and mentored him thereafter, though reading between the lines one perceives Anderson as a more cantankerous and difficult type than this fond portrait argues.
Some of the stories meander in search of a punchline – it could all have been tighter – but McDowell's affectionate, mischievous impersonations and the assorted clips from Anderson's work make for an easy couple of hours.
