...sadly, Bergman makes no more of it than the musical Cabaret did. It all comes out more picturesque than terrifying. Bergman, too, shows the developing monster through the eyes of an innocent, though this one lacks the lively intelligence of the young man in Cabaret. Bergman calls his hero Abel (David Carradine). He is an American circus performer of Jewish descent, stranded in Berlin because his brother and partner has hurt his arm and they cannot continue their trapeze act.

Smith's latest announcement apparently means that he has made some kind of deal with the leading black moderates, Bishop Abel Muzorewa and the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole.
