...Polonaise in A Major; the ironic reflection of V-E day fireworks in a stagnant pool, beside which the Communist boss lies dead; the lovers in a ruined church, its Christ figure splintered and dangling upside down in the foreground; Maciek setting fire to each glass of vodka on a bar and delivering weird incantations to old, dead loves; his girl drenched in sunlight while Maciek-in the death throes on a dank rubbish heap-whimpers and twitches like a wounded rabbit...
...wakened at 8 a.m. on Wednesday and asked to paint Spaceman Gagarin in a hurry, Artist Chaliapin had an unusual handicap. The night before was "my 19th wedding anniversary, but I forgot it.

Actually, the author of these "Polynesian" cocktails has never roamed the South Seas. Nevertheless, salty, peg-legged Victor Bergeron, 58, has parlayed a flair for serving good food amid a supply of grass skirts, Tiki gods and outrigger canoes into...
...they liked better. Production was still further slowed by Brando's perfectionism. With a cast and crew on full salary, he sat for hours beside the Pacific Ocean and waited for the waves "to become more dramatic." For a drunk scene, he chugalugged a pint of vodka, got sincerely stoned and reportedly lost his supper - but kept the footage...
