...this is lost in the gibberish of the Turkish prosecutor, and, for lack of subtitles, Mr. Contreras may be excused for not quite grasping the motives of the Turkish government in sentencing Billy Hayes to life imprisonment. Nonetheless, I find it inadmissible to acclaim a movie which is so outrageously biased in its depiction of a whole nation. "Midnight Express" is offensive only not only to Turks, but to all self-respecting human beings. Dani Rodrik...
...funny you don't eat them.") has occasioned protests of the film from Ankara and Turkish students living in the United States. Other touches added by Parker only underline the anti-Turkish prespective of the film: subtitles seem to have been deliberately omitted, thereby inflicting an incomprehensible gibberish on anyone who does not speak Turkish; the swarthy faces of Turksih prision guards and interrogrators often fill the screen, making them all the more sinister and awe-inspiring...

...week before the opening, the 11 actors in the production split into two groups and began to scream Italian gibberish and profanity at each other, five actors onstage, and six at the top of the Loeb auditorium. "All right," says Havergal in a beautiful, melodious British accent that sounds just like every British accent ought to sound, "Now choose some lines of yours in the play, and let's hear you deliver them in the same tone to each other." While the five actors onstage proceed to do so, Havergal huddles with his group at the top and begins whispering...
