Three of the Met's Rembrandts have been labeled with a question mark since 1954. As many as three more are now getting close inspection, including such works as Man with a Steel Gorget and Old Woman Cutting Her Nails. Nor is the Met alone in giving fresh attention to Rembrandt's paintings. The National Gallery of London in 1960 demoted three of its then 21 Rembrandts to the status of "attributed to" or "school of."

HAL's success is partial; he murders Poole, then three doctors on the ship in a state of induced hibernation. The murder of the sleeping doctors is filmed almost entirely as close-ups of electronically controlled charts, a pulsating coordination of respiration regulators, cardiographs, and encephalographs. HAL shuts his power off gradually and we experience the ultimate dehumanization of watching men die not in their bed-coffins but in the diminished activity of the lines on the charts...
