![]() ![]() It would have been more interesting to see the meat of investigations taking place rather than just hearing someone tell us about them later. It would have been more interesting to see a bit of the primary murder. It would have been more interesting to see some of the backstory with the doctors in real time. Yes, the plot turns out to be a bit complicated, as a good mystery should (otherwise there isn't much for the viewer/reader to figure out), but it's not so complicated that it can only be told through 60 or 70 minutes of talking. At times, you might feel more like you're listening to an audio book. The build up is extremely dialogue heavy. Unfortunately, although the film is never bad, the rest can't quite live up to the same standard, and viewers have to make it to the end to see an improvement. There are all of the requisite elements, such as the explanatory wrap-up, of a traditional, quality mystery film. The ending is suspenseful, well plotted and the staging even has intriguing symbolism. ![]() Despite never being able to shake its "made for television" feel, the last 20 or 30 minutes of The Cradle Will Fall are quite good-good enough to earn a 9. Based on the Mary Higgins Clark book of the same name, The Cradle Will Fall tells us the story of Katie DeMaio (Angie Everhart), who unwittingly becomes wrapped up in a complex mystery involving cheating husbands, strange doctors and murder. ![]()

And, like Azhar in his documentary, I’ve spent much of my life mulling over that shift and its consequences. Friends who were as irreligious and leftwing as I was, but who now celebrated book-burnings and chanted “death to Rushdie”. I lost many friends over the Rushdie affair. I am of the generation that came of age just before The Satanic Verses, a generation that was largely secular and as fierce in our condemnation of religious constraints as of racist bigotry. ![]() It’s been a ghostly presence in my life, too. He returned to his Huddersfield primary school, remembering, with a nervous laugh, playground games of “How do we kill Rushdie?” The Satanic Verses was a “spectre” that hung over his life then, he observed, and still haunts Muslims. Azhar was a child at the time of the fatwa. The Satanic Verses: 30 Years On, presented by the broadcaster Mobeen Azhar, was an intelligent, subtle exploration of the impact of the Rushdie affair on Britain’s Muslim communities. Even in today’s censorious, don’t-give-offence climate, there is something startling in the casualness with which the associate editor of a national newspaper can proudly proclaim himself a would-be book-burner and book-banner. ![]() ![]() ![]() "With verve and velocity, the story moves.one cinematic set piece after another, strung together with twisty fun and wit." - The New York Times Book Review "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
