Michael Apted's new movie "Enigma" might be of interest for several reasons.
It's a '40s spy thriller based on the cracking of the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park.
It's a chance to check out two actors touted as future Bonds - Dougray Scott and Jeremy Northam (playing a suave MI5 agent!)
John Barry has composed the score - always an event these days -(I'm off to find the CD tomorrow).

That's a hell of a James Bond related event! Is this the one starring Kate Winslet? I haven't seen a single ad around Australia anywhere. I must see it sometime soon!

That's the one. IMDb has all the details http://us.imdb.com/Details?0157583 .
The screenplay has been done by Tom Stoppard, so it should be a good on.

There's an "excellent" rated review of the CD at Music From The Movies: http://www.musicfrom...ews/enigma.html .
