PINK FLOYD THE WALL Directed by Alan Parker (MGM/UA Entertainment Co.)

by Vernon Gibbs

As a Pink Floyd fanatic, my biggest fear has always been that on some apocalyptic night as I sat with the rest of the Pinkoid horde deep in a concrete canyon, waiting to be dazzled, Roger Waters' prerecorded voice would loom through the quadrophonic sound system to announce that "Pink isn't well, we stayed back at the hotel," and I would have to contend with some overwhelming visual spectacle that had Pink Floyd's cranial throb, Pink Floyd's death of the universe personality, but not even a glimpse of those guilty rich.
