	The Sound Barrier Rhapsody, Op. 38, Malcolm Arnold
		The Sound Barrier Rhapsody is a short, dynamic orchestral tour de force in five discernible sections.
		A resounding opening statement identifies the Sound Barrier motif - strong and unyielding - before the entry of delightfully skittish waltz, a playful accompaniment for some carefree aerial acrobatics as a Spitfire pilot momentarily enjoys the freedom of the skies and puts his aircraft through it's paces.
		There is a moment of drama, well pointed by brass and percussion, as the aeroplane is edged over skyward, reaching for the stars, before the emergence of a sudden calm, like the eye of the storm, a delicate dreamscape patterned by piccolo, flute and celesta adorned by shimmering strings.

		Citation: For the extreme experimentation with which he breaks down the barrier between sound, sight and touch, in a form which touches the madness of Herzog and the tragic utopia of the story by Sokurov.

		The Omnimax film "Speed," which opens today at the Museum of Science, does just that and is certainly the best and most en- tertaining way to make your stomach queasy short of boarding a speeding race car or a roaring jet airplane.
		On the surface "Speed" is a simple ac- count of the steps in man's ever-increasing rise in rapidity: from the bicycle to the car to the sound barrier to space and beyond.
		While the 33-minute long film is too short to amount to more than a mere overview of man's progress in precipitousness, Mac- Gillivray does manage to instill the wonder and excitement.

		David Lean's third and final film with his wife Ann Todd was also his first for Alexander Korda's London Films, following the break-up of Cineguild.

		With its exciting, if repetitive, flying sequences, the film marked a departure from the domestic or literary concerns which had characterised Lean's choice of subject matter to date.

		Even when the films disappoint, the sport of choosing your path, crisscrossing the neighbourhood, and recognising the throngs of fellow festival-goers among the regular city crowd, is pleasurable in itself.
		The boldness of the film’s structure is admirable, and I found myself fascinated by the first scene, with its hypnotic repetition, its almost sculptural representation of obsessiveness — for the first 15 minutes or so, anyway.
		Sound Barrier may have been awful, but it was at least memorably awful.
