	In response to questions as to whether the American release of
"Brazil" has been edited, I cannot say for sure, but judging from the content
(a combination of the humor of Woody Allen with the nightmare of "Nineteen
Eighty-Four" -- an excellent film), it seems not to have been substantially
edited.

	I think the screen blank at the point of Sam's capture is 2 things:
	1.  The bag placed over his head (and probably his passing out very
	    shortly after).
	2.  A feature of the film to leave you wondering for a while before
	    you finally realize the truth (unfortunately, in theatres with
	    sound systems that are not the best, it leaves you wondering
	    probably longer than was intended).
