...seems farfetched, but this is a documentary. Grey Gardens, a new cinema vérité creation of the Maysles brothers (Gimme Shelter, Salesman), concerns the dilapidated lives of Edith Beale, 79, and her daughter Edie, 56. Both women live in East Hampton, Long Island, performing some dizzy charade out of The Madwoman of Chaillot. Grey Gardens, the crumbling house they inhabit, is overrun by raccoons, squirrels and other woodland creatures. The two women live mostly in one room, where the beds .are covered with cans of cat food, the floors ankle-deep in garbage. Occasionally a handyman named Jerry...
...editorial last summer in The New York Times, titled "Cambodia's Crime," summed up the official view of events there.

...Nonetheless, a growing number of wealthy investors who seldom if ever come near a set or meet a star are pumping money into movie production, seeking not only glamour but write-offs that will reduce the taxes on their other income. Since 1973, a rising amount of tax-shelter money has been funneled into movie production by non-Holly-woodians who earn $125,000 to $200,000 a year-especially doctors. By some estimates, the flow could reach $1 billion in 1976. Tax-shelter money now at least partly finances the production of more than half of all the films...
