. FILM STORY
. ...;.;__^^^^*�V^--""TT7'" f Continued from Page 1)
duced to do so by his girl who cornea to see him from the WRA center. He joins the 442nd and goes oversea*. He is captured by the Nazis and is placed in a P* OW camp where he manages to correspond via the International Red Cross with his girl who is in an internment camp in the United States, a situation which underscores dramatically the contradictions in the government's wartime treatment of Niseu Later he escapes from the Germans in time to participate in the rescue of .the Lost Battalion in the Vosges.
This original idea later was. revised to the story line which is presented in "Go for Broke!" and. which does not have any scenes of a war relocation camp for Japanese Americans. It may be that the original idea was top unwieldy and lessened the telling of the : story'about the 442nd. And then:it may be that the Army Department demurred in its cooperation with, a production which Avould. toll the world about an event, the wartime .mass eva-"; euation of Japanese Americans, j. of which it vis.not prou;! although i. It maintains that, tho '�mass' i-v-moval was carried out as a security measure and not as the result of political or economic pressures or because of race pre^ judice. Whatever the reason, it may have been felt that in this time of the cold war a picture about the mass incarceration of an American group on the basis of ancestry might be exploited! by anti-American elements.
Whatever the reason the con.-' ^ceritration of the story in "Go for Broke.!" on a single platoon of the 442nd Combat Team has probably made for1 a more effective, picture and places the emphasis oh the Nisei GTs themselves, rather than on the still-con! roversial hiass evacuation, The only character in "Go for Broke!1' who. has liaison with a war. relocation eamp ..vis- Sam, .played by Lane Xskauo. v/hc gets letters from, his :girl ir, the cen-

"During all the months of preparation, I wa.s well aware that a lot was expected of the: picture by.veterans of the 442nd /ind by other Japanese Americans, and I must admit I was a little apprehensive that we .�...might let them down. 1 knew that the entire story could not be told in one picture, and .''this .�.'meant: that some people were going to be disappointed.
