  Marble Madness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using trackballs, players race marbles through an isometric Escher-esque labyrinth against a strict time limit.
While Marble Madness is a fairly short game, with victorious plays through its six levels rarely lasting longer than five minutes, its high degree of challenge and charming theme, sound and graphics made it a hit.
Marble Man ROM dumps (joystick version) and a driver for the MAME emulator exist, but are not publicly available at this time due to restrictions that were placed on the purchase of the machines from which the dumps were made.

 DVD Talk Review: Man of Marble
The story saw the exploits of the young student director as she led an investigative approach to what the truth behind the bricklaying hero was.
As she dug ever deeper, she discovered that Birkut was in fact an ideal man who truly cared for his fellow worker; the basis for making communism/socialism work as espoused by philosophers throughout the years.
She found that he embodied the principles needed but was left wholly unprepared to deal with the realities of any system that relies on people and he soon was turned from hero to criminal by those who wanted to use him as a visual aid without his opinion or help.

My intention here is to introduce you to the world of Cultured Marble, sometimes referred by your customers as manufactured marble, manufactured stone, man made marble, or artificial marble, and show you a little bit of what this industry is all about and what is involved in establishing a cultured marble factory.

 FILM: 'MAN OF IRON' TELLS OF POLISH UNION'S STRUGGLE - New York Times
ANDRZEJ WAJDA'S ''Man of Iron'' is such an up-to-date report on political events in Poland that one attends to it less as a piece of fiction than as a prime-time television news special.
In the course of ''Man of Marble'' Agnieszka discovers that Birkut, attempting to help a friend unjustly accused ot treason by the Government, had himself been imprisoned and, on his release following the fall of the Stalinists, remained profoundly disillusioned.
Despite this ellipsis - or possibly because of it - ''Man of Marble'' is one of Mr.

 Andrzej Wajda. Official Website of Polish movie director - Films - "Man of Marble"
In spite of protests from various rungs on the decision-making ladder, Man of Marble was released.
Passionate and driven by the desire for a harmonious life, Man of Marble is an exceptional drama about the revolt of flesh, blood and common sense in defence of the right to authenticity, naturalness, and spontaneity.
The originality of Andrzej Wajda's film Man of Marble lies in the fact that it is not original (what can be less original than the fate of a labour-leader from the stalinist era?).

 VH1.com : Movies : Man of Iron : Plot
Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda's sequel to his immensely well-received Man of Marble covers some of the same ground: the relationship of labor leaders to their communist political masters and the difficulties the media encounters in covering that story.
That man, Tomczyk, is the son of Birkut, the labor leader profiled in Man of Marble, and he's played by the actor Jerzy Radziwilowicz, who played Birkut in the first film.
In Man of Marble, a student filmmaker in late 1970s Poland tried to uncover the story of Birkut, a working-class hero of the '50s who was later politically discredited and killed in a 1970 strike demonstration.

The last scene in Man of Marble shows Agnieszka walking the long corridor of the television studio with Birkut's son, Maciek Tomczyk, as she used to walk with the producer.
In the first version of the script for Man of Marble, written by Aleksander Ścibor-Rylski in 1962, Agnieszka represented the generation of those born at the end of the 1930s and her role was relatively small and meaningless.
The impact of Man of Marble and Man of Iron in the history of Polish cinema was so great, that they initiated a wider phenomenon of films, depicting the history of Solidarity and putting a female heroine at the centre of the narrative.

The first of Polish director Andrzej Wajda's two "Solidarity" films, Man of Marble (originally Czlowiek Z Marmuru) concerns bricklayer Mateusz Birkut (Jerzy Radziwilowicz).
This climactic revelation was, ironically, excised by the Polish censors when Man of Marble was first released.
