The other night the BBC aired one of their Before They Were Famous shows. It was a disappointment as I had seen most of the clips before.
But one glorious fact stood out: Sid Owen played Al Pacino's son in Revolution.
This was a dreadfully misconceived picture about the American War of Independence, released in 1985. A critical and financial disaster, it did much to ensure that the hoped for 80s boom in the British film industry never happened.
I had the feeling that there was a decent film in there somewhere, given ruthless editing, but this review reflects the consensus.
