For the first time, a British film is being released on the Internet and in movie theaters in Britain on the same day. The film, This Is Not a Love Song, written by Simon Beaufoy, who also wrote The Full Monty, is being presented on the website today (Friday) only, and can be viewed by persons living in the U.K. and running Microsoft Windows operating systems. The charge is £2 ($3.40) to watch the film "streamed" to the viewer's PC or £3 ($5.10) for downloads. The film was funded by the British Film Council, which said, "We are keen to use it as a test bed now that the technology is there."
