The original Quinn the Eskimo (no kidding) is another life-loving rough portrait from Anthony Quinn, in Nicholas Ray’s rather successful final spin as a writer-director. Despite some technical awkwardness, Ray’s sensitivity to outsider souls finds full expression. Humans don’t get any more ‘outside’ than Inuk, a primitive unequipped to deal with the modern world.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth could prevent a future credit crunch. The monarch - who expressed her puzzlement as to why no one had been able to predict the global crash while visiting the London School of Economics (Lse) last year - could act as a first line of defence in helping prevent a future financial crisis, say a group of leading financial experts. The leading economists from Lse believe the queen should receive regular updates from ministers on the state of the country's finances so any possible impending problems could be tackled before they go too far. Professor Tim Besley from Lse and eminent historian Peter Hennessey has written to the monarch suggesting she takes a closer interest in the government's...

Katharine Whitehorn on a survey of Britain in the 1950s
What was it like to live in the 1950s? Until recently the decade was thought of as a bare patch between the battleground of the 40s and the fairground of the 60s, but recently its complexities and excitements have exercised historians Peter Hennessy and Dominic Sandbrook; and now there's Family Britain, the second book in David Kynaston's three-volume New Jerusalem project. Mercifully, this massive work – nearly 800 pages – is made highly readable by all sorts of extracts and quotations from diaries, columns and oral records, and deals as much with ordinary, everyday lives as with the machinations of politics and power.
There are surprises in it even for someone who lived delightedly through those years: was rationing really not finally called off until July 1954? Was a Tory government cheerfully still subsidising milk and National Butter in 1956? Some things I remember all...
