This four part, eight hour miniseries turns the fate of a family of German Jews into a sprawling drama that covers all the bases of the holocaust horror. It was strong stuff and a big Emmy winner, boosting the careers of James Woods and Michael Moriarty. His warped charisma as a psychotic Nazi is so good that he’s consistently more interesting than the courageous victims. As for Meryl Streep, she became an instant star — everybody remembered her from this. Although it’s been called ‘The Holocaust for Dummies,’ it’s a quality show. Looking from today’s perspective, after forty years of Political Correctness adjustments, I’m not sure any two viewers will react in quite the same way.

Charged with, among other allegations, violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the trial of “Rescue Dawn” producer Gerald Green and his wife Patricia will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday in downtown L.A. <img width="200" vspace="15" hspace="15" height="290" align="left" alt="" src="/files/bangkok_film_festival_...
