...Griffin Bell was recently cited for contempt for protecting FBI sources, nobody put him in jail, like Farber, while the appeals went on. Yet a federal judge in New Jersey, refusing to release Farber and calling him "evil," ruled so intemperately that he didn't even get his facts straight. The Farber case seems to have this effect. He had "discovered" that Farber had a $75,000 advance for a book (though this fact had been mentioned in court records and in the Times); assumed that Farber had been willing to show his publisher materials that he wouldn...
...scholarship to turn pro. His earnings, $68,432 to date this year, are far from Borg's $550,141, but considerable for a kid who, not so long ago, survived on an allowance.

But A Slave of Love comes from the Soviet Union, not France, and that single fact casts the film in a startling light. It isn't often that the Soviets export movies that aim to be lyrical, sentimental and commercial. One could sooner imagine Universal Pictures releasing a musical remake of Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky-with or without Sensurround...
