Those who had lived with hope and excitement through the days of Lenin's victory could not help feeling betrayal and disgust at the severe, quasi-dictatorial methods which the government now employed to deal with an increasingly desperate situation. The miniscule rations in the cities, the forced requisitioning of peasant grain, the growth of a centralized, omnipotent bureaucratic machine-all seemed to belie the straightforward, liberationist goals to which the revolution...
...Godard would point his finger at the "Academy Awards" and re-em-phasize Vertov's disgust. A former French individualist, Godard is now a member of a film collective "where we are all directors, actors, actresses, cameraman or camera-women." The collective is named for Vertov.

"Some would come up, work a day, and then quit in disgust," recalls one workman. "They wouldn't even come back for their tools...
...audience," Wayne coos, "I want to try something that we've never tried before." Jerry growls: "Who are you kidding? We do the same bloody thing every night." When Wayne slides into Danke Schoen, Jerry covers his eyes and moans, "My God, this is so sexy." He exudes disgust as Wayne plays a succession of instruments with ain't-I-cute aplomb. "I'd take off my coat," sneers Jerry, "but I'm afraid you'd play that too." The audiences...
