after the Six,Day War. Mr. Brauner reports, the Poles began finding fault with the produce rs. It was, Mr. Brauner thinks, because the film, directed by Alexander Ford, was to show the heroic stand of the Jews in the Ghetto, "and it is against the'presient policy of the Polish regime to show Jews as capable of her 01 s m." Finally, the Poles broke the contract because the shooting was set for April. 1, while the Warsiw authorities wanted it to begin on March 22. Mr. Brauner said $200,000 had already been invested in this film "wbicb
are now down the drain." Now, Mr. Brauner said, he was examining the possibility of filming the exteriors in Czechoslovakia and building the sets for the ghetto scenes in Israel.
For the Hannah Szenes film, which is scheduled to go into production in the autuma, $7pO,0004lm. has been'earmarked. Part of the filming may be done in Hungary, and the rest in Yugoslavia and Israel.
The Masada story will be a $2.5m. fUtn.
