Matthew Sweet talks to Harrison Ford about Cowboys and Aliens, discusses a Brazilian horror classic with Mark Gatiss and hears how Vera Day put Marilyn Monroe's nose out of joint.
The Film Programme this week is all about odd but exhilirating couples. Harrison Ford talks about his new film, Cowboys & Aliens and resists attempts to suggest he has anything in common with John Wayne; the writer and comedian Mark Gatiss shares his guilty pleasure in Coffin Joe - the star of an extraordinary Brazilian horror which glories in the title Tonight I Will Possess Your Corpse; and the film historian Jeffrey Richards and the critic Karen Krizanovich vie with each other to come up with the weirdest pairings in film titles from the past. To round things off Matthew also hears how Britain's blonde bombshell, Vera Day, sent Marilyn Monroe into a spin when she appeared on the set of Laurence Olivier's The Prince and the Showgirl.
Producer: Zahid Warley.
