Agnelli is also looking to Eastern Europe, where the auto market is underdeveloped and potentially great. Tito's Yugoslavia builds Fiats under a licensing arrangement, and Poland recently signed a similar agreement to build "Polski-Fiats." Russia has hired Fiat to help it construct and run an $800 million plant at Togliattigrad on the Volga. The huge plant is scheduled to begin producing Fiats by early 1970, and work up to an annual output of 600,000. "It is hard for Italian Communists to complain about Agnelli," says Rome University Economist Paolo Sylos-Labini. "After all, if Fiat...
Joan of the Angels? (Film Polski; Telepix) is a beautiful, full-bodied young woman possessed by eight demons. Almost proudly, she rattles off their names-Balaam, Isacaaron, Behemoth, Gressil, Dog's Tail, Amon, Leviathan, and Asmodeus, demon of lust. Asmodeus, of course, possesses many women. But Joan (Lucyna Winnicka) is no common wench: she is the mother superior in a Roman Catholic convent of Ursuline nuns...

Ashes and Diamonds (Film Polski; Janus) is an honest, brutally powerful and often shocking effort to dramatize a question posed by the 19th century Polish poet Norwid: Will the ashes from the flames of war "hold the glory of a starlike diamond"? As such, it becomes a sort of Poland Man Amour, in which love, out of the cinders of World War II, is kindled anew, flickers with the fire of diamonds, burns out finally in a coda of death...
Kanal (Film Polski; Frankel-MJ.P.) is a cruel catalogue of the psychological terrors and physical tortures of trapped men. Almost the entire story takes place in the kanaly, the filthy, fetid sewers that coursed like petrified entrails through German-occupied Warsaw. It is September 1944, the final days of the Uprising, and the ragged remnants of a guerrilla company-waging a fruitless small-arms fight against Nazi tanks-are ordered to retreat underground. There, in sewage, they panic, drown, go mad, get lost, commit suicide and make love...
