	Monsters At Play: Contraband Review
		Anyone who has seen Contraband before knows that much of the film was shot outdoors on extremely drab and overcast days.
		Contraband really works as a well-executed film, and at the same time, quite a risky undertaking for Fulci.
		Now, Contraband is far from a perfect flick and it's most certainly not without its problems.

	Kino Film: Contraband
		Set in England during the early days of WW II, Contraband stars Conrad Veidt (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) and Valerie Hobson (The Bride of Frankenstein) as a Danish sea captain and his enigmatic passenger who are kidnapped by a cell of Nazi spies operating from a basement in London's Soho.
		What makes Contraband unique is that most of the story takes place under blackout conditions (original U.S. release title was Blackout), in which the great city becomes a mysterious dark labyrinth, a potent metaphor for the English population's general confusion at the start of the war.
		The film is an early treasure from the writer-director team of Emeric Pressburger and Michael Powell (The Red Shoes, Stairway To Heaven), who have been hailed by critics as jewels in the crown of British cinema.

	Horrorview.Com: Contraband
		Instantly recognisable as always, Frizzi's score adds a little cheesy Euro-disco to the mix and there is also an insanely catchy disco-tune that's played several times in the movie, and which you won't be able to get out of your head for days!
		The film it's self is presented in it's original 1.85:1 aspect ratio and is uncut.
		and what an entry it is! The film came more or less at the very end of an enormously successful run for a genre of films that have since become renowned for their gritty, ultra-realistic violence.

	Fremont's Hundred Days Atlantic Monthly
		General Fremont was in command of the Western Department precisely One Hundred Days.
		His personal observations of two hundred armed and mounted “contrabands” as part of Jim Lane’s Kansas brigade leads one to suspect that “contraband” is a title of convenience here; an armed and mounted man on campaign with an army is a soldier no matter what you call him.
		The day had been dark, the journey dull, and the people we had seen silent and sullen but here was a welcome, the hearty, generous welcome of sympathizing friends, who saw in their guests the defenders of their homes.

	Horrordvds.com Forum - Contraband, worth buying?
		Fulci films were rarely boring in those days, but he was here and what that Testi fella was doing certainly can't be labeled as acting.

	Amazon.com: Music: Switch [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [IMPORT]
		Get free Golden Earring tracks, 800,000+ songs, 14 days Free!
		Basically what I'm saying is this album is OK, but if you only buy one Golden Earring album, ignore this and all the compilation albums and go straight for 'Moontan'.
		There's nothing wrong with learning from other bands, but I feel Golden Earring should have trusted more in themselves to come up with the goods, rather than look to the US and particularly the UK for the styles they wanted to emulate.

	US Protests Against Maritime Warfare
		During the early days of the war this Government assumed that the policy adopted by the British Government was due to the unexpected outbreak of hostilities and the necessity of immediate action to prevent contraband from reaching the enemy.
		A belligerent nation has been conceded the right of visit and search, and the right of capture and condemnation, if upon examination a neutral vessel is found to be engaged in unneutral service or to be carrying contraband of war intended for the enemy's government or armed forces.
		Goods so discharged, not being contraband of war, shall, if not requisitioned for the use of His Majesty, be restored by order of the Court, upon such terms as the Court may in the circumstances deem to be just, to the person entitled thereto.

	U.S. v. Jackson
		Given the oft-cited adverse impact of drugs on unit readiness, it is permissible for the military judge to take into account the nature of the contraband in determining that the threat to unit readiness, rather than the criminal prosecution of an individual, was the primary purpose for a unit inspection.
		So long as the primary purpose of the examination is "unit readiness" and not disciplinary proceedings, it is permissible both: (1) for an inspection to take place after the commander receives specific information about the presence of contraband; and (2) for an inspection for weapons or contraband to result in disciplinary proceedings.
		We noted that "such inspections are time-honored and go back to the earliest days of the organized militia." We observed that "the inspection has traditionally been a 'tool' for a commander to use in insuring 'the overall fitness of [his] unit to perform its military mission.'" Id.
