Additional evidence of that intervention came last week in the form of a onetime high-level Salvadoran guerrilla. In an interview with TIME, Alejandro Montenegro, 28, a former member of the Salvadoran rebel faction known as the People's Revolutionary Army, declared that starting in 1980, Salvadoran guerrillas "were sent to Managua for training."

Montenegro is a Laurel-and-Hardy jalopy of a film, putting along impudently and then suddenly stalling, out of everything but gall. In these timid days, gall may be enough, especially with Makavejev behind the camera and Anspach in front, giving one of the year's sweetest, smartest, sexiest performances...
