QB Vir To Be Aired Next Week
by David Friedman
(A Seven Arts Feature)
Just as the Haggadah is
read every Passover, the
events of the Holocaust must
be constantly retold so that
every generation will feel as
if it personally experienced
it. Perhaps in this way we
can ensure there will be not
future holocausts for the
Jewish or any other people.
This was the theme of Leon
Uris' bestselling blockbuster
novel "QB VII" and it is the
theme of the television
version of the book to be
shown on \ ABC-TV next
Monday and Tuesday nights
(April 29 and 30).
The Screen - Gems
production, an absorbing
film that keeps the viewer
glued to his television set for
- two nights of television, will
be entertaining, shocking,
moving and thought-
provoking. It presents the
horros of the holocaust as
well as providing a sym¬
pathetic view of the State of'
Israel.
The film is an epic un¬
dertaking. It runs a total of
six hours and fifteen
minutes, the longest film
ever made for television. It
features an outstanding cast
including such well-known
names as Ben Gazarra,
Anthony .Hopkins, Leslie
Car on, Lee Remick, Anthony
Quayle, Edith Evans and the
late Jack'Hawkins, among
others. It was filmed in the
United States, Great Britain,
Israel and Belgium and
directed by Tom Gries, who
has won two TV Emmy
awards, and written by
Edward Anhalt, who won
Academy Awards for the
screenplays of "Becket" and
"Panic in the Streets".
Everyone connected with
this production/deserves to
be congratulated. Anthony
Hopkins turned in aft-
especially outstanding
performance as Sir Adam
Kelno, the Polish refugee
doctor who seeks to hide the
fact that he willingly
sterilized Jewish inmates
while he was a prisoner in
the fictional Nazi con¬
centration camp of Jadwiga
in Poland. "QB VII" is based
on a real trial in which Leon
Uris was the defendant in a
suit growing out of his novel
"Exodus". In the fictional
account, Abraham Cady, an
American writer, who was a
pilot for the-British Royal
Air Force during World War
II, is sued for libel by Kelno
for writing in his book on the
Holocaust that Kelno per¬
formed thousands of
sterilizations on Jewish
camp inmates.
Ben Gazzara is highly
believable as Cady, ari,
assimilationist Jew who'
tries to deny his Jewish
heritage and is constantly
quarrelling with his Or¬
thodox father over Jewish
identity and Zionism>Cady's
son, meanwhile, joins the
Israeli air force. When
Cady's father dies in Tel
Aviv - his last words to his
son are in. Yiddish.urging
him to be "a good Jew" -
Cady fulfills a longtime wish
of his father that he visit Yad
Vashem, the memorial to the
Halocaust victims in
Jerusalem. There Cady, who
has been a successful
novelist and scenarist, but
an uninvolved writer, is so
overcome by the scenes of
the Holocaust that he
becomes a dedicated Jew,
writing a bestselling novel
about the Holocaust and the
struggles of Israel.
There is much that could
be criticized about this film.
The heroes in Uris book tend
to be sought of Super-Jews,
great In everything they do
from fighting, writing to
lovemaking. The acting in
the film gives a greater
reality to the character but
there is still a simplification
of people and ideas. Despite
his faults, Uris is a great
storyteller and on this point
. alone the television drama is
worth watching.
But the film is much more.
It depicts the horror of the
holocaust vividly in actual
films taken by the Nazis in
the   camps   and   ir(   the

not have prevented it.

State Dept Takes New Look
At Middle East Situation
- by Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON, (JTA) —
Syria's Soviet-supported
offensive on the Golan
Heights, renewed Arab
terrorism in its worst form
as exemplified by the
slaughter of 18 people in
Kiryat Shemona,.. and- the
attitudes publicly and
privately expressed d»y
Soviet leaders towards U.S.
policy on separating Arab-
Israeli forces have caused
the State Department to take
a new look at the Middle
East. Officials are discretly
saying that Israel is acting
with   "great   restraint"
towards the "provocations"
from, its Arab neighbors.
Therefore, one source ob¬
served, "we are tilting
towards Israel again." With
theSeeretary of State going
to the Middle East again, the
source added, "This is no
time to be un-everihanded.
The equilibrium is very
delicate. Just the same,' the
facts are that the Israelis
were greatly restrained in
their retaliation in Lebanon
after the massacre of their
people in Kiryat Shemona
and in what the Egyptians
are now threatening to do."
