Big Screen Little Screen

Due to the writers strike, the series on HBO’s regular summer slate (Big Love, Entourage, Flight of the Conchords) have been delayed. To help fill the void in programming, the cable network has scheduled original documentaries to air every Monday from June until the end of August, beginning with Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. The doc looks at the controversial Rosemary’s Baby director who fled from the U.S. to France after pleading guilty to statutory rape of a 13-year old girl in 1977.
