...second rank as a place to drink. But Britain's new stop-and-sniff law, which went into effect Oct. 15, threatens to change all that. It authorizes police to make a suspected tippler pull to the curb and take a "breathalyzer" test-that is, he must blow into a bag in which crystals that change color indicate how much alcohol he has imbibed. After a mere two pints of beer, or four small tots of whisky, he risks arrest...

Italy's Gillo Pontecorvo faithfully reproduced the grainy style of newsreel footage to restage The Battle of Algiers-a pictorially harrowing exposition of war as an extension of politics. Czech Director Jiff Menzel leaped from tears to laughter in quick sequence to create the moody turmoil of Closely Watched Trains. The "undoable" film can now be done, as shown by the creditable...
