I DON'T know what it would cost to assemble the cast from Marvin's Room (8pm Sky Premier) now, but in 1996 it was still feasible. In this comedy drama, receiving its satellite premiere tonight, Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep play a pair of sisters who fall out when their father has a stroke. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Streep's drop-out son, incarcerated for attempted arson, while loitering in the background is Robert De Niro.
When she first broke through in the 1980s with hits such as "Like a Virgin", many critics predicted that Madonna wouldn't last.
