Cinema Canada (Oct-Nov 1974)

understand no law has been broken. We understand what happened was a mistake — a misunderstanding” — they were sorry it had occurred, BUT, technically the law had been broken... “your fine is five thousand drachmas, or we put you in jail for 15 days! AND, WE ARE ALSO GOING TO KEEP THE MONEY !!” My lawyer argued about that, got the fine reduced and the sentence to nothing, or about $75. The real money was confiscated and they refused to give it back. But I must tell you that their attitude was very reminiscent of when I was a small boy and my father took me to Nazi Germany in 1937. And I had a momentary flashback to a small boy in 1937 — with armed guards, machine guns all over the place, police, the people looking around corners, people starting to say things and then shushing up ... it was very bad. So now that’s changed, hasn’t it, with the military government gone. Maybe things will smooth over? They haven’t sent my money back to me. I wouldn’t advise anyone to go to Greece, their attitude is Nazi — they have been the seat of Democracy, but the legs came off the chair. Have you anything more you want to say? It’s going to be a fantastic film ... the stuff we shot was terrific. I’m convinced this picture is going to be a real milestone for the Canadian Film Industry. I think it will be one of the biggest Canadian films made. TIFFE FOG EFFECT Natural fog conditions can be sim STAR EFFECT Highest quality optics to create star burst effect.
