...movie. The film is a way-out, walleyed, wonderful exercise in cinema. It is also a social satire written in blood with a broadaxe. It is bawdy as the British were bawdy when a wench had to wear five petticoats to barricade her virtue. It is as beautiful in Eastman Color as England is in spring. And it is one of the funniest farces anybody anywhere has splattered on a screen since Hollywood lost the recipe for custard...
...Dragon Lady. And hardly even a plot. U.S. Ambassador Marlon Brando-please do not laugh; this is a serious, Eastman Color picture-arrives at his post in South Sarkhan (read South Viet Nam) and hustles off to see an old friend, a fellow he knew in the resistance who has now become a leading neutralist...
When the 914 came out, there was already a host of smaller office copiers for sale. Evanston's American Photocopy Equipment Co. and Eastman Kodak Co. with its Verifax dominated the "wet copying'' field, which uses chemical developers; Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co. had its fast-selling Thermo-Fax, a dry method that uses heat from an infra-red lamp to form an image on specially coated papers. But the Xerox machine had a special appeal. It is a dry method that needs no chemicals, can duplicate anything from grease pencil to ballpoint pen, though it is more...
...Fuss. Last week Kodak paid public reverence to all three. In Manhattan, President William Scott Vaughn, 60, a mathematician and onetime Rhodes scholar, announced that "George Eastman's idea was to 'make a camera as easy to use as the pencil'-and picture taking now becomes that easy." What makes it so, in Vaughn's view, is the latest developments from Kodak's researchers: new Kodak still-film cartridges that pop in and out like blades in a razor, and four new models of "Instamatic" cameras (prices: $16 to $110) that use the film...
Counterattacking. There are also some things that Eastman Kodak would be happier not to have to talk about. Prime among them is monopoly; the company controls so much of the U.S. camera-and-film market (more than 40%) that the specter of the trustbusters always looms large. Then there is Polaroid, whose convenient "instant" photographs have caused something of a revolution in the camera industry. Dr. Edwin Land offered to sell his picture-in-a-minute system to Kodak in 1946, but Kodak's deliberative managers figured that the company was already too busy with seemingly surer projects, thought...
