lism about "freedom". It is about producing surplus value. If a work force is not available to work for a wage, then the capitalist state will pass laws ensuring that various forms of unfree labor keep the system going. It is our job as Marxists to develop a class analysis that can maximize the power of the laboring classes politically. Quibbling over whether the worker is really a worker or not based on the peculiarities of a given country's history not only constitutes a form of pedantic quibbling, it is a detour from our task as revolutionaries.

"The Wide Blue Road" and found Milestone Films, a haven for orphaned movies that had recently reissued "The Sorrow and the Pity." Mr. Demme's involvement didn't stop there. He lent his name to the reissue, along with Dustin Hoffman, a friend of Mr. Pontecorvo's since the 60's, thus providing the prestige to help ensure a proper preservation and rejuvenation of the Ferraniacolor film by Studio Cine in Italy (financed by Milestone and partially underwritten by Turner Classic Movies). "I've always considered Gillo one of the great deities of film, and was so knocked out by 'The Wide Blue Road,' " Mr. Demme said. "It deserves to be seen, even if it's nearly 50 years overdue."

Above all, they have portrayed a working life: enormous labor, great seriousness, a lot of pain, a lot of laughs and friendship. Montand was a professional.
