...swaging machine that stretches the rods until they have grown to 37 in. in length and shrunk to exactly .467 in. in diameter. Three workers, each of whom cost the company $20,000 per year, used to do this very unpleasant labor with increasingly uneven results during their eight-hour shifts. The robot does it flawlessly for 16 to 24 hours a day. It will pay for itself in 2½ years...
...contradictory, its characters as inarticulate (and, through the wonders of Dolby Stereo, often as unintelligible) as those of The Deer Hunter, but without the Viet Nam film's claim of political significance.

Robert Altman planned an eight-hour Nashville saga for ABC, and Martin Scorsese hoped to restore many of the sequences cut from New York, New York for telecast on NBC; so far, neither dream has been fulfilled. Bernardo Bertolucci is a compulsive tinkerer. After the release of Last Tango in Paris, Critic Pauline Kael complained...
