Brush Strokes. The film's story is simple, at least in synopsis. Marko (Jacques Charrier) is the leader of the Ustachi, a group of Croatian anarchists who made forays from Hungary into Yugoslavia before World War I. Winter Wind deals with the particular events leading up to the group's assassination of Alexander I and the French foreign minister in Marseille in 1934. But Jancsó has relatively little interest in the incident itself or in the characters of the people who instigated it. He is, instead, obsessed with illustrating the forces that drove the individuals involved...

Tito signed a protocol with the Vatican, purged-and then reprieved-his leading reactionary lieutenant, Aleksandar ("Marko") Ran-kovic, and released from 41 years in prison his archcritic, liberal Author Milovan Djilas.

The Yugoslav state security agency, UDBA, was cut back by 5,000 cops, and deprived of its power to interrogate suspects outside of court. Most important...
...November 1964, the Government went into Chicago's Federal District Court and got indictments on 49 counts (later reduced to 42) against the foundation, Dr. Ivy, Dr. Durovic, his lawyer-financier brother Marko, and Dr. Phillips. The charges ranged from mail fraud and conspiracy to defraud the public to submitting false statements to Government agencies. Technically, the question of Krebiozen's efficacy as an anticancer drug was not at issue. But there was little doubt that the Government hoped that by convicting any or all of the defendants it could end the entire controversy...
