...BATTLE OF ALGIERS. A cinéma-vérité-style recounting of the Algerian guerrilla war against the French during the '50s, in which Italian Director Gillo Pontecorvo has used not one frame of actual documentary film footage, yet manages to make the movie explosively real...
...India, Ecuador and Cuba. Mass Art started out last year offering inflatable vinyl pillows for $1. After expanding into tote bags and bubble earrings, it is now making an $80 chair and a $20 table. The chair consists simply of four clear vinyl pillows nesting in a spare aluminum frame, and anybody who sits in one looks like a master of levitation...
...Paris, who appropriated the name of the most distant starlike bodies in the universe to distinguish himself from his better-known wife Emmanuelle, who is a pretty far-out designer of women's clothes.

"Transparency is the criterion of our age," proclaims Quasar, but like other see-through inflatables, his furniture can be filled with water colored...

Required to brush up the fading color on the original print frame by frame, studio technicians have done their job well, although there is still occasional blurring. Composer Max Steiner's original magnolia-lush score, however, sounds better than ever in a re-engineered six-channel stereo version...
