...aside from telling us The Woman must shovel sand which is sold as inferior and illegal building material, director Hiroshi Teshigahara gives little indication why The Woman must be kept in such degrading servitude. Why not live with integrity on the ground and shovel like a normal coolie laborer...
...looked like a scene from the Great Gold Rush. There they stood, rank upon frozen rank, along the icy river banks, occasionally stumbling back to toast numbed fingers over blazing fires in the zero-degree cold. Every motel for miles around was full. The ground was littered with empty bourbon bottles, bean cans, and instant-coffee jars.

She also makes the cogent point that the well-publicized...
...lieve in God, she suggests that Communism or Nazism is the only alternative to faith in God. She is perfectly correct in charging the West, and Great Britain in particular, with egregious laxity in letting Communist spies steal so many atomic secrets. But she is on treacherous ground indeed when she says that this handful of traitors is a symptom of Western decadence and decline. Every society has its misfits, and always will...
