SALON KITTY A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 1999
In 1970s, many European intellectuals, especially those on the left political hemisphere, became obsessed with the rise of Fascism. Which wasn't so hard to expect, because the social turmoil of 1960s and economic decline of 1970s seemed to be the breeding ground for many dangerous ideologies. In such times, when political involvement could be associated with noble passion, many filmmakers tried to warn the present generations of dangers that lurk ahead by giving the look of pre-war Europe and circumstances that led to phenomena like fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Of course, there were authors who jumped on the bandwagon for other, less noble reasons. For them, moral depravity of Fascism could be explained to the audience by explicitly showing sexual depravity of those era. Which, naturally, made some of those films very popular among teen audience.
One of such filmmakers was Italian director Tinto Brass, who later made career shooting expensive, stylish soft porn. SALON KITTY, his 1976 film, is very losely based on the novel by Peter Nordern, book that deals with bizarre yet true story that took place in the first years of WW2. In 1939, Walter Schellenberg, one of the heads of Nazi intelligence service has set up the elite, exclusive brothel in Berlin with clientele comprised of top Nazi officials and foreign diplomats. None of the customers knew that the girls were all Nazi agents, and that all the rooms happened to be bugged. The most bizarre thing is the fact that not even Kitty, nominal madame of the brothel, didn't know the real purpose of that enterprise.
Screenplay by Tinto Brass, of course, simplifies the story and changes few names. Schellenberg is now Wallenberg (Helmut Berger), ambitious Nazi official who wants to use the brothel in order to blackmail his way to the top. Kitty Kellerman (Ingrid Thulin), apart from being madam, has a second job as a cabaret singer. Caught in the net of depravity is sweet, innocent girl Margerithe (Theresa Ann Savoy) thrown into brothel. There she falls in love with customer Hans Reiter (Bekim Fehmiu), disenchanted pilot of Luftwaffe. When Margerithe discovers that her lover had been executed for defeatist speeches he made in the brothel, she finds out that the place is bugged. She informs the madam of the real situation, and both women decide to confront Wallenberg.
Those who tend to bash Benigni for exploiting Holocaust as the topic of comedy would probably go bananas watching this film, that uses the darkest pages of European history for cheap sexploitation. But, although SALON KITTY doesn't happen to be anything more than rather more stylish and expensive soft porn (although not very successful; some of supposedly erotic scenes are quite unappealing), it does try to have more multidimensional characters and even something resembling dramatic conflict - this time between power-hungry and scruples Wallenberg and hedonistic womanhood symbolised by Kitty. Unfortunately, Brass seems to overuse other cinematical references, probably thinking that he could repeat the successful interaction of Berger and Thulin in Luchino Visconti's THE DAMNED, but the most noticeable and irritating is Ingrid Thulin's unsuccessful attempt to imitate Lisa Minelli's musical numbers from CABARET. All in all, SALON KITTY is failure, although with some very interesting moments.
RATING: 4/10 (+)

I saw a post this afternoon about a new section of #ds106 starting for a five-week summer course. I’ve dabbled in the Daily Creates from time to time, which included my very first-ever animated GIF,
and I’ve enjoyed those a lot.
I’ve decided that I’m going to jump in these next five weeks as an Open Online Participant. Jim Groom is teaching the course, and he’s taking it on a Twilight Zone trip. I remember watching old episodes with my dad when the SciFi channel wasn’t spelled “Sy-fy,” and I was still young enough to be freaked out by “To Serve Man.”
Another episode stands out in my head…it had something to do with a stopwatch. A Google search later, I found what I was looking for. A man is given a stopwatch that can stop time. After becoming more confident in his new powers, well, let’s just say he ends up with a lot of time on his hands.
Time is on my mind with this because of the time I’ll need to put into the class over the next month. And, with a house renovation starting Memorial Day weekend, I might be wishing I had a stopwatch of my own…

Docs > Data Types
There are several data types in Sardonyx:
- Ints, numbers with no decimal point. Examples include `-5`, `5`, and `73`.
- Nums, floating point numbers. Created using `.`, for example: `5.5`, `-6.7`.
- Strs, created using `"`, for example: `"abc"`, `"a"`, and `""`.
- Booleans, created by writing either `true` or `false`.
- Lists, which can hold any amount of any other data type, for example: `[5, 6]`, `[]`, `["a", 1]`. Lists can be indexed using `()`: `[1, 2, 3](0)` is `1`.
= Nil. Nil is created using `nil`, and represents the absence of a value.
Note that these types do not have concrete definitions; at present, there is no way to know the type of a value. However, several functions are provided to check if it is a particular type: `__is_int`, `__is_num`, `__is_str`, `__is_bool`, `__is_list`, and `__is_nil`.
All values are first class and can be passed around.
When used in `if` and `while`, values are tested for truthiness. The rules for truthiness are as follows:
- Lists and strs are truthy if not empty.
- The boolean `false` is not truthy.
- Nil is not not truthy.
- All other values are truthy.

Class representing a fibre in orientation space. Examples are alpha, beta or gamma fibres. In general a fibre is defined by a crystal direction h
of type Miller and a specimen direction of type vector3d.

-
__init__
(title, data_path, validation_percentage, language=None, ignore_cache=False)[source]¶ - Parameters
title (
str
) – The title of this data set.data_path (
str
) – The path to the file or directory containing the data in an implementation-specific format. User directory references and environment variables are expanded.validation_percentage (
int
) – The percentage of the data to be used for performance validation, the remaining data is used for training. Expects a positive whole number between 0 and 100.language (
Optional
[str
]) – The language tag of this data set, e.g. “en” or “en-us”. If this parameter is set to None or omitted, the implementation is assumed to get that information from somewhere else.ignore_cache (
bool
) – A boolean flag indicating whether the data cache should be ignored.
- Raises
OSError – in case the data could not be loaded or cached due to I/O or other OS-related issues.
ValueError – if the validation data set or the training data set are empty after splitting the data based on validation_percentage.
ValueError – if the data path does not point to an existing file or directory.
Sentences assigned to the None-intent are treated differently. These sentences are first removed from the data set, the remaining data is then shuffled and split and the None-data is added to the validation data in the final step.

sphinx.ext.ifconfig
– Include content based on configuration¶
This extension is quite simple, and features only one directive:
-
.. ifconfig::
¶ Include content of the directive only if the Python expression given as an argument is
True
, evaluated in the namespace of the project’s configuration (that is, all registered variables fromconf.py
are available).For example, one could write
.. ifconfig:: releaselevel in ('alpha', 'beta', 'rc') This stuff is only included in the built docs for unstable versions.
To make a custom config value known to Sphinx, use
add_config_value()
in the setup function inconf.py
, e.g.:def setup(app): app.add_config_value('releaselevel', '', 'env')
The second argument is the default value, the third should always be
'env'
for such values (it selects if Sphinx re-reads the documents if the value changes).
