Calling All Lefties!

_Reds_, the finest thing Warren Beatty has ever done, will be released on 10
October, in a two-disc Special 25th Anniversary Edition.

All The Lefties Here -- Gans, Black The Red, et alii, who used to carry a
copy of the _Communist Manifesto_ and later _Ten Days That Shook The World_
around in their hip pockets -- will get some instructive lessons as to why
they are perennial losers.

Beatty starred as John Reed, the flakey Harvard graduate, and directed.

Diane Keaton as Louise Bryant and Jack Nicholson as Eugene O'Neill are also
superbly cast.

One of the best films ever made showing why Leftist-Revolutionary twaddle
and prattle is a crock.

Socialists & Communists Are Both Revealed As Pikers.

Eugene O'Neill's marvelous little speech to Louise Bryant explaining what
the common man REALLY wants is a classic jewel.

Several Quite Mediaeval Themes Emerge...

Hamilton Fish makes a brief appearance -- as one of the "Witnesses".

Amazon has it for a VERY reasonable price, $13.87 -- which may drop even
lower.

"Tagline: Not since Gone With The Wind has there been a great romantic epic
like it!

Plot Outline A radical American journalist becomes involved with the
Communist revolution in Russia and hopes to bring its spirit and idealism to

Plot Synopsis: Writing has been the only escape of Louise Bryant until
she goes to a lecture one night in 1912 and is mesmerized by a radical
journalist, John Reed. She leaves her husband and goes to Greenwich Village
with Reed where she keeps writing, covering the 1913 Armory Show of
post-impressionist paintings from Europe. Reed is so wrapped up in changing
the world that Louise leaves him for awhile and stays with a playwright,
Eugene O'Neill. She returns to Reed. He goes to Russia and covers the 1917
Revolution. She never forgets Reed. the only American to be buried next to
the Kremlin wall."
