The Tin Drum Movie

Four Blockbuster video rental stores in the Antelope Valley decided to pull the Oscar-winning 1979 film "The Tin Drum" from their shelves last month after the movie was declared obscene in Oklahoma City. But on Wednesday, following inquiries by The Times, the stores abruptly scrapped the ban. The Oklahoma City action is being fought in court by the American Civil Liberties Union as unconstitutional.

Brubaker (ABC Sunday at 8 p.m.), a strong, provocative prison drama, stars Robert Redford as a feisty, uncompromising warden appointed by the governor to clean up the prisons of an unnamed Southern state. Redford's character, however, is based on the real-life Tom Murton, who made headlines when he dug up the bodies of prisoners who had been murdered and buried at an Arkansas prison farm.
