Film Stories with Simon Brew hits its 100th episode, with the stories of two hugely difficult films to make.

Kevin Costner turned down major roles and gambled his career to make Dances With Wolves - and yet in spite of his star power, no Hollywood major would touch it.

There have been two attempts to make Cats, meanwhile, and the latter attempt proved to be an insane, unwinnable race against time.  

Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
