...FIFTH HORSEMAN IS FEAR. A brutal tale of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia is raised to a high level of creative cinema by Writer-Director Zbynek Brynych's stark symbolism...

Another kind of problem is illustrated by four Manhattan apartment buildings constructed over an approach to the George Washington Bridge: lower-floor occupants have been bothered by fumes and noise from the traffic below...
