...Bolivia, Castro agents working out of the Cuban embassy hatched a plot with local Communists to overturn the government of Reformer-President Victor Paz Estenssoro with a "hunger march" on the capital by striking leftist tin miners. Forewarned, the Bolivian government declared a state of siege, rounded up the chief conspirators and called out a well-armed militia of nonstriking workers to block all roads into the capital. The march fizzled...
...grand old American folk ritual, the afternoon shack-up." In Co-Writer-Producer-Director Wilder's hands, the result was one of the sharpest social satires ever filmed. And Hollywood's new lack of inhibitions has made possible other excellent pictures (Elmer Gantry, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), and some that are at least artistically ambitious (Shadows, The Savage Eye).

Chang's officers made it a prison offense to possess American cigarettes; in so doing...
...Orleans Rhythm Kings: Tin Roof Blues (Riverside). Chicago style-blary, jagged, and rough around the edges-by one of the two bands (along with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band) that ruled the North and South Sides in the old days. Put on wax in the early '20s, these performances are a reminder that the King of the Kings was the late Clarinetist Leon Rappolo, whose solos in such numbers as Tiger Rag and the title song (also known as Jazzin' Babies) are taut as a bent...
