...couple of young white guys chilling out on a front porch. They were greeted curiously by the two locals. "We don't see too many white kids on Beecher Street," Nicole says one of them commented. The two boys guided them to a store where Nicole bought a pack of Newports and a Coke. The three wandered over to a school, climbed up piping to the roof and sat talking and smoking until the sun set. Resuming their search for a restaurant and phone, they came across two black kids who told them a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant...
They charge not one thin dime for the most gloriously twisted show in New York City, which stars a muttering reputed Mafia don in a wheelchair, his loyal brother the Catholic priest and ex-jailbird, and a pack of rats who talk about whacking nicknamed brethren like it's some kind of citywide croquet tournament.

...Grigori Alexandrov's pioneering The Jolly Fellows (1934) percolates with jaunty jazz, Cubist compositions and a Dietrichish blond in a party hat. The amazing Midnight Revue (G.D.R., 1962) is a comically cynical parable about the difficulty of making a musical when your producer is not Arthur Freed but a pack of philistine bureaucrats. We can't approve your film, the apparatchiks sing...
