Inquest is a 1939 British crime film directed by Ray Boulting and starring Elizabeth Allan, Herbert Lomas, Hay Petrie and Barbara Everest. In the film, a young widow is accused of murder, and enlists the support of a King's Counsel to help prove her innocence. It was based on a play by Michael Barringer which had previously been adapted as a film in 1931. The film was a quota quickie made at Highbury Studios to be used as a supporting feature.
TV Guide concluded, "not bad as courtroom dramas go. This was the first attempt by the Boulting brothers to give higher production values to programmer filmmaking."
An inquest is a judicial inquiry in common law jurisdictions, particularly one held to determine the cause of a person's death. Conducted by a judge, jury, or government official, an inquest may or may not require an autopsy carried out by a coroner or medical examiner. Generally, inquests are only conducted when deaths are sudden or unexplained. An inquest may be called at the behest of a coroner, judge, prosecutor, or, in some jurisdictions, upon a formal request from the public. A coroner's jury may be convened to assist in this type of proceeding. Inquest can also mean such a jury and the result of such an investigation. In general usage, inquest is also used to mean any investigation or inquiry.
An inquest uses witnesses, but suspects are not permitted to defend themselves. The verdict can be, for example, natural death, accidental death, misadventure, suicide, or murder. If the verdict is murder or culpable accident, criminal prosecution may follow, and suspects are able to defend themselves there.
Inquest (German: Voruntersuchung) is a 1931 German crime film directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Albert Bassermann, Gustav Fröhlich and Hans Brausewetter. Along with another film that Siodmak made the same year Storms of Passion, it anticipates the later development of film noir. It was made by German's largest studio Universum Film, with sets designed by art director Erich Kettelhut. Paul Martin, who soon after emerged as a leading director, was assistant director to Siodmak on the film. It was based on a 1927 play of the same title by Max Alsberg and Ernst Hesse.

Film (Persian:فیلم) is an Iranian film review magazine published for more than 30 years. The head-editor is Massoud Mehrabi.
Film is a 1965 film written by Samuel Beckett, his only screenplay. It was commissioned by Barney Rosset of Grove Press. Writing began on 5 April 1963 with a first draft completed within four days. A second draft was produced by 22 May and a forty-leaf shooting script followed thereafter. It was filmed in New York in July 1964.
Beckett’s original choice for the lead – referred to only as “O” – was Charlie Chaplin, but his script never reached him. Both Beckett and the director Alan Schneider were interested in Zero Mostel and Jack MacGowran. However, the former was unavailable and the latter, who accepted at first, became unavailable due to his role in a "Hollywood epic." Beckett then suggested Buster Keaton. Schneider promptly flew to Los Angeles and persuaded Keaton to accept the role along with "a handsome fee for less than three weeks' work."James Karen, who was to have a small part in the film, also encouraged Schneider to contact Keaton.
The filmed version differs from Beckett's original script but with his approval since he was on set all the time, this being his only visit to the United States. The script printed in Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett (Faber and Faber, 1984) states:
In fluid dynamics, lubrication theory describes the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. An example is the flow above air hockey tables, where the thickness of the air layer beneath the puck is much smaller than the dimensions of the puck itself.
Internal flows are those where the fluid is fully bounded. Internal flow lubrication theory has many industrial applications because of its role in the design of fluid bearings. Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant.
Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case the position of the free surface is itself unknown, and one goal of lubrication theory is then to determine this. Surface tension may then be significant, or even dominant. Issues of wetting and dewetting then arise. For very thin films (thickness less than one micrometre), additional intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces or disjoining forces, may become significant.

A young woman died from malnutrition because of severe ME, a coroner has ruled - at the end of a ten day inquest in Exeter. [Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe] Maeve Boothby-O'Neill, who was 27, had suffered with ME for more than 10 years, before she died in October 2021. Her mother told the hearing she believed her daughter's death had been preventable - while other witnesses spoke of the severe shortage of specialist treatment and the "outdated" views some doctors had about the condition. In a statement the Department of Health said "Maeve and her family were forced to battle the disease alongside the healthcare system which repeatedly misunderstood and dismissed her." ----- Get more news at our site - https://www.channel4.com/news/ Follow us: TikTok - https://www....

The classic example of an inquest is a coroner's inquest, an examination held before a court to determine cause of death. Typically an inquest is held before a judge and jury;in some regions, a trained and appointed panel of people oversees an inquest, and these people may collectively be known as an inquest panel. In regions of the world which use the traditional English coroner system, inquests are quite common.

Charlie Chan investigates a murder case aboard the yacht of a wealthy Greek shipping tycoon.
Ernest Hemingway is almost as famous for his lifestyle as his writing. Mixing with a wealthy and glamorous set, he indulged his passions for hunting and fishing and was always throwing himself into something new. He didn’t have an easy start in life with an overbearing father and distinctly odd mother and a heavy genetic loading for mental instability. But he redefined the boundaries of fiction with his unique writing style and challenging themes. From the cafes of Paris to the savannas of Africa, the life he lived was like the characters he created: full throttle, flawed, but always fascinating. Part One of this biographical documentary explores the life of Ernest Hemingway, to uncover the man behind the myths - his bravery and vulnerability, his bullishness and sensitivity, his determ...
In 1921 Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle was charged with the murder of a young actress called Virginia Rappe. He stood trial 3 times and it destroyed his reputation and also his career as one of the highest paid stars of the silent movie era. Most writers in the intervening 100 years have argued Arbuckle was victimised - and quite innocent of the charges... But most writers have started from a point in which their anxiety to restore Arbuckle's reputation, has obscured their regard for the truth. Starting from first principles, let look again at that Labor Day party in the St Francis Hotel in San Francisco - and ask again: was Arbuckle guilty after all? Mark John Maguire
