LUFT (Copyright 1967, JTA Inc.) HOLLYWOOD—Sidney J. Furie, the 34-year-old film director who rose to world recognition in the cinema with his British-made "The Iperess File," which introduced Michael Caine as a Private Eye, now is preparing one of Holly- wood's most sensational subject matters for the screen, "The Shep- pard Murder Case," based on the factual account and information supplied by F. Lee Bailey, the noted criminal attorney who suc- cessfully defended the Cleveland osteopath accused of murdering his pregnant wife. Furie, a Toronto-born Jewish boy, in his early youth traveled to the United States to study writ- ing and film directing at Carnegie Institute of Technology. After win- ning his diploma, the 21-year-old returned to Canada and entered the production of television films. As Sidney told me during an inter- view at Paramount Studios, where he is preparing "The Sheppard Murder Case" for Bob Evans, he struggled hard for recognition, bor- rowing money to make his first feature, "Dangerous Age," a pic- ture largely based on his own ex- perience and completed within a record ten days, for a total cost of Dialogues are the order of the day and when a father and a son enter into a philosophic discussion and review world affairs, their ex- change of views inevitably deserves serious:attention. ' "Right) and Wrong" is such a volume. Published by Basic Books (404 Park S., NY16), it contains the dialogue between Dr. Paul Weiss, Sterling Professor of Philosophy at Yale University, and his son, Jonathan Weiss, an attor- ney who also lectures and writes. One of the questions raised is whether a child's wishes should be adhered to. Jonathan asked: "What about acts which might be con- sidered as damaging to the child's self-image—the Mennonites' style of dress, the children of Jehovah's who pass out literature, Orthodox Jewish children who have to wear skullcaps?" And the father commented: "As long as the child has not yet reach- ed the age of reasonable discretion, lives at home, and is supported by the family, he must conform to the family's mores, values, sense of decorum, and religious outlook." There was another question pos- ed by Jonathan, in relation to the Negro school problems: "Should a disadvantaged of a society be given special privileged in society?" Paul's reply was: "I have heard it said that most of the higher executive positions in the New York school system are filled by Jews. The Jews claim that they have achieved this dominance through com- petitive examinations and be- cause of their intellect and in- dustry. Some Negro leaders, however, claim that the Jews have achieved these positions through political pull. Other Negroes say that giving Negroes jobs on the basis of examina- tions perpetuates the kind of $50,000. At the age of 26, Sidney Furie went to England to direct "During One Night," dealing with a young pilot in World War II, which im- mediately established him as an important newcomer. In 1963, Sid- ney met Raymond Stross who had made himself a name with the award-winding Stuart Whitman film, "The Mark," which had been photographed in Ireland. Together with Stross, Furie developed "The Leather Boys," dealing with the homosexual relations of two young men in a very delicate and deeply moving fashion. The only known name in the film was Rita Tush- ingham. Question: I am a full-time trade school student studying mechanical drawing. Can I qualify for a de- ferment?
