I've not been writing about films I've seen. Why? Well, I just haven't. But I'll tell you about the last three... Sweet Smell of Success This is a superb film. First rate. Ace. Champion.

The late Marshal Tito presided over a dictatorship just as brutal as any of the other Communist regimes of the day. If fact, if you examine that period of Yugoslav history just after Tito's split with the rest of the Soviet Bloc, then it is really difficult to conclude that what was at work was anything other than Stalinism without Stalin. In 1949 the Communist leadership began the forced collectivisation...
