Criterion - 500 points

Category: Osint Description: I was reading up on literary criticism recently, and I noticed that my favorite BYU journal, Criterion, was missing a few issues from their database. Could you please find the old issues for me? Once you find them, please let me know what movie was referenced on the cover of their fourth issue.
