The September 25 Culture Club misstated the history of Manga Entertainment; the company was founded by Islandlife executive Chris Blackwell. The sound track to the film Six-String Samurai was released by the Palm Pictures record label; Rykodisc was the distributor. The editors

Wrong Amit Kumar The August 14 movie listings mistakenly identified Indian filmmaker Amit Kumar as the famous playback singer. Wrong Amit Kumar. We apologize for the confusion. The editors

In Fred Camper’s Critic’s Choice on the film Vertigo (October 25) one sentence read incorrectly. It should have read: “The ‘vertigo’ shots–in which Scottie looks down and his view seems to recede and advance at once–make explicit the push-pull that undermines every composition.” The Editors

One of the photographs accompanying last week’s Our Town article on Joan Jett Blakk showed a large cutout poster that was displayed at her campaign event. We should have credited the artist who created the original: his name is Lee Kay. The editors

Due to a printer’s error, the photo in the calendar story “Lecture Notes: A Couple of Women Telling Fish Tales,” July 27, was reversed. Nanette Schonberg was on the left and Jessica Esslinger was on the right. The editors

We printed the wrong text with the right picture in our movie Critic’s Choice last week. The film pictured, Metro, was part of a program of films from the Soviet National Film School.
