Can anybody help me remember the name of a movie portraying the writers of the adventures of Robin Hood TV series ? They were blacklisted in the USA for supposed communist ties in the fifties,and made a living under various pen names,being behind some of the classic TV serials of that era.Have seen this movie,but cannot for the life of me remember what it was called,and it's driving me nuts. Have a feeling it may be from sometime in the 1980's, it was in colour but have no recollection of who starred in it or directed it. If I could just remember its title I could check if its available on DVD,as would really like to see it again.

Like most other people who saw the series so many years ago,It has remained vividly in my mind,and was a very welcome release on DVD. Although the entire cast were excellent,the performance of Marita Breuer as Maria was outstanding.An amazing, and thoroughly convincing portrayal of the phases of one womans lifetime.With so many strong characters appearing through the story,her magnetism is all the more remarkable. Now we have the wonderful news that HEIMAT 2 will be released in May,with HEIMAT 3 following in August.Can't wait. HEIMAT has to the best piece of sustained drama ever to appear on the small screen.Why can't British TV produce programmes of this calibre? The Singing Detective from the BBC remains the only thing approaching it for quality.
