The bread and cigarette crises of August have not so much disappeared as given way to discussions about fresh shortages of eggs and butter; well-founded fears of forthcoming scarcity in supplies of potatoes, vegetables and fuel; anxious predictions of riots in coming months.

But these unpretentious B movies are their doughy bread and butter...
