Night Will Fall is a documentary that chronicles the making of a 1945 documentary that captured scenes at the concentration camps. “Unless the world learns the lesson these pictures teach, night will fall…but by G-d’s grace, we who live will learn.” – Narrator for German Concentration Camps Factual Survey The British cameramen were working under the supervision of producer Sidney Bernstein. Alfred Hitchcock did not take a fee during his brief time as treatment advisor–he…

Tim Blake Nelson adapted his play of the same name, The Grey Zone, from Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eyewitness Account by Dr. Miklós Nyiszli. Let’s be honest. Tim Blake Nelson is not the first person you would think of to write and direct a Holocaust movie. How many of you even knew that one of his parents survived the worst genocide of Jews in history? He certainly puts in the work in adapting the book and…

They Drive By Night–starring Humphrey Bogart before leading-man stardom–was recently upgraded to Blu-ray by the Warner Archive Collection. George Raft and Ann Sheridan may have received top billing but the film would be a pivotal moment in the careers of both Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino. Can you imagine Bogie being the fourth-billed actor in any movie?!? It’s unthinkable, right? And yet, this is exactly the case in the Warner Bros. adaptation of A. I.…

John Ford’s 1948 remake, 3 Godfathers, made its way onto Blu-ray in late March after getting a release through the Warner Archive Collection. I have to admit that I went into the film knowing it was a Ford/Wayne Western. What I didn’t know was that it was a retelling of the Biblical Three Wise Men tale. I can’t really tell you much about that because I’m most familiar with the Tanakh and its contents. Regardless,…

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare takes audiences to the origins of Black Ops warfare, not to mention James Bond, too. I love a good World War II movie. Whether it’s fictional or based on a true story, we’re talking about The Greatest Generation. They rose up to the challenge to fight against evil. We’re losing more and more of this generation daily. The same goes for Holocaust survivors. Before we know it, we’ll only have…
