continues a season of films featuring one of the screen's most powerful actors
Tonight with Louise Fletcher
' I may bite the dust but you can't kill what I stand for in this town. That lives on for ever.' Young David hurls these defiant words-taken from his favourite Western -at the Nazis who control the small Dutch village where he is hiding. But tragically his world of movies and fantasies is far removed from the realities of war and persecution ... This is the British premiere of a Canadian film, in which Steiger gives a brilliant performance as Colonel Gluck, the kidnap victim of the town's young ' Sheriff' who wears his obligatory Yellow Star with a mixture of pride and innocence.
It is charming, heart-tugging, handsomely photographed like a series of Dutch paintings, and smoothly acted and directed (variety) Produced by CLAUBE LEGER
