Burn. Gillo Pontecorso of Battle of Algiers fame directed this Marxist-Fanonian Parable of revolution on a Portuguese-colonized island in the Caribbean in the mid nineteenth century. The story cluntsily parallels Vietnam, the Phillipines, et al., but Marlon Brando gives a superb performance as a British mercenary agent provocateur, and the direction is sensuously beautiful. With Vlva Zapsta. Elia Kazan's exciting but absurd film of a John Steinbeck script, full of take feeling for the Mexican little guy. Still, there's a young, dynamic Brando as Emiliano, and Anthony Quinn as his brother. ORSON WELLES CINEMA ONE. Call...

The plot tangles, twists, thickens, quickens, down alleys and up roofs, through brothels of spicy beauties and manses of spiky matrons, leaving behind a car nage of laugh-splintered ribs. Salve, Forum, et in arena hilaritatis! lo triumphe...
Milwaukee, home of the Brewsox,--oops I mean the Brewers--won't profit by witching divisions. The bunch they got from Boston--George Scott, Billy Conigliaro, Jim Lonborg, et al, will help, but he Brewers are still an-expansion club. The only reason I pick them fifth is because Cleveland is so woefully bad that the Brewers can probably safely donate last place to the Indians...
