...syndication sales is that U.S. shows come in awkward lengths (a half-hour program has only 26 minutes of action) for nations banning commercials. Kenya, which doesn't ban them but just doesn't sell many, adapts by interspersing public-service announcements like: "There's a rustler's moon tonight-watch your cattle." Argentina, on the other hand, has no limitations. As a result, The Untouchables, a U.S. one-hour show, is stretched to an hour and a half, with the audience sitting through 38 minutes of commercials...
...soon, the sham preacher helps a cattle rustler escape from jail. Persuaded to hide the hot-blooded crook in her Pullman berth, Catherine (Jane Fonda) begins to reveal a flair for lawlessness and disorder that turns out to be her most endearing trait. After she blows into Wolf City at gale force, her father is murdered for his land by a hired gunfighter (Lee Marvin).

In Mila 18, there are both good and bad Jews. The bad ones assist the Nazis in the systematic extermination of their fellow Jews of the Warsaw ghetto. The archvillains are the Germans-all cynics, slobs, sycophants and sadists. The hero, Andrei...
...ticket to Tokyo had been bought by the Ikeda faction. But before he could board the plane, he was approached by a forceful hakoshi, or delegate rustler, from a rival faction, who persuaded him to swap his air ticket for a first-class train ride, "all meals paid for, and plenty of sake." But once aboard the train, the delegate fell in with a smooth-talking hakoshi of the Fujiyama faction, who persuaded him to descend for a night of pleasure in the resort town of Atami, 60 miles short of Tokyo. Before resuming the journey next day. the delegate...
