After the drilling comes the killing. While artillery shells resound overhead, the men-now called "The Devil's Brigade" by fearful Germans-begin their assault on a steep mountain in Italy, the peak of which is enemy territory. There is room at the top, but along the way many good devils die, and Holden comes to realize the cost of his merciless goading. As a mainstream tough-and-rumble military movie, The Devil's Brigade-which is based on actual events-offers few new sights or insights. After nearly three decades of World War II films...
...official engines of conscience and convenience have rehabilitated Bulgakov. Last year the Soviets printed his Faustian novel The Master and Margarita, a rowdy satire written three decades ago that treats the Devil and the literary world of Moscow in the 1930s with equal seriousness (TIME, Oct. 27).

In Forbidden Colors, an ugly, aging novelist with a consuming hatred for women makes a devil's compact with a staggeringly handsome young homosexual named Yuichi. For a very cold cash settlement, this irresistible "Apollo molded in bronze" will exact the old man's revenge by systematically attracting and frustrating women-even to the extent of marriage...
Maybe Dylan believes in the early Christians. They were believable. The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest is the story of what happens to a modern hero who gets tempted as Christ was by the Devil in the wilderness. The hero, Frankie Lee, dies in a whorehouse that Judas Priest convinced him was some sort of heaven. In this one, Dylan twists his images a little more the way he used to. Frankie Lee is Dylan's conception of most people. "Nothing is revealed," says a little boy (Dylan) at the end. He is saying Frankie is revealed...
