After the debacle of Mutiny on the Bounty, Brando should have known enough to stay away from tropical adventurism and English accents. He shows vestiges of genius, but his artistry is subordinated to Pontecorvo's ambition. The earnest director further hedged his bet by substituting full-color flora for the grainy reality that made Battle of Algiers such a masterpiece. But he partially redeems himself with a typical Pontecorvian touch, transforming Evaristo Marquez, an illiterate cane cutter, into an astonishingly effective actor.

...techniques to magnify its occasional and not really fresh revelations-including covert CIA funding of the National Student Association and military-financed secret research at universities. Circulation rose to a high of about 225,000. It has been losing some $20,000 an issue, partly because of its flashy, full-color format (says Hinckle: "I hate butcher paper"). A contributing reason was the fact that some of the staff grew fond of spending too freely...
