After working on a couple of low budget movies with Vilmos Zsigmond such as The Sadist Joseph Miko left the industry and became a successful businessman in Santa Monica, California.
He provided audio commentary (with director Richard Fleischer) for the Special Edition DVD of Tora! Tora! Tora!, and interviewed Oscar-winning cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond for his audio commentary track for The Sadist.
The Sadist (German: "Der Sadist") is a book published by psychiatrist Karl Berg, following the confessions of Peter Kürten, a well-known serial killer in the late 1920s in Germany.
In comparing the Nazis to a government of sadism, Améry suggests that it is the sadist's nature to want "to nullify the world".
