This spring, film makers from all over the world have been attracted to London by its swinging film industry, whose latest export to the U.S. is Morgan!, a hilarious piece of insanity. Charlie Chaplin is making The Countess from Hong Kong with Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren. Francois Truffaut is just finishing Fahrenheit 451 with Julie Christie and Oskar Werner. Roman Polanski is making a horror satire called The Vampire Killers. Robert Aldrich is starting up a war film called The Dirty Dozen, and Sidney Lumet is working with Maximilian Schell, James Mason and Simone Signoret in The Deadly Affair...

In some cases, Castro tried to smuggle in agents; he even tried to export a few lepers on the sly. But immigration screening has been tight, and few ringers have slipped past interrogators. Some 30% of the refugees have remained in South Florida, and other concentrations are around New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and New Orleans. The rest are scattered over the 50 states...
