Vivendi may fold
Canal Plus into Universal Studios. Say it isn't so;
and I was hoping that a French acquisition of Universal (who bought European
film/music company PolyGram some years ago; which is why all those BBC costume
dramas appear to come from a Hollywood studio) may lead to the resurrection of
a strong European film company, independent of the businesslike tyranny of
Hollywood formulaicism. What would J. Arthur Rank have thought?
