Israeli Heroism Spurs Hollywood
By HERBERT G. LUFT
(Copyright 1967, JTA Inc.)
HOLLYWOOD — "David and
Goliath" is the symbolic title of a
high- budget, semi-documentary
motion picture to be filmed by pro-
ducer-director Roger Corman in
Israel as a joint venture of Cor-
man's company and Noah Films
headed by Menahem Golan. The
latter is produce of "Sallah" and
director of the more recent thriller,
"Trunk to Cairo," soon to be .re-
leased throughout the United
States.
Corman has pledged to the state
of Israel 25 per cent of the profits
from "David and Goliath," which
tells the story of the six-day vic-
torious war of Israel against the
overwhelming might of six Arab
countries.
Corman, whose brother Gene
produced the strongly phrased
anti-Nazi epic "Tobruk," starring
Rock Hudson and George Peppard,
started Golan out in the film busi-
ness a few years ago when he
selected him as his executive as-
sistant for his European-made,
car-racing feature starring Mark
Damon.
In the meantime, Corman has
departed for New York to meet
with 20th-Fox publicity heads on
the release of his "St. Valentine's
Day Massacre." He leaves for
Europe and Israel to cast and pre-
pare production of "David and
Goliath."
