While the Virginia tax is only $1.50 a year, residents who have not been voting must pay for three years-a total of $5.01 with penalties and interest. Attorney Robert L. Segar in a companion suit pointed out that the tax lay most heavily on Virginia Negroes, 54% of whom have family incomes below the Federal Government's $3,000 poverty line.

The first, or scherzo, movement begins during the disastrous Warsaw uprising of 1944, when Polish patriots attacked their German oppressors, expecting aid from Russian forces that lay watchfully beyond the Vistula until the city was destroyed. In this film, the reluctant Reds are pretty much ignored. Munk's antihero (Edward Dziewonski) is a self-seeking womanizer who cynically boasts that he survived the occupation by "buying and selling."
