HOLLYWOOD — "90
Minutes at Entebbe," an-
nounced by Paramount on
July 12, based on the factual
novel by Uri Dan and Wil-
liam Stevenson and written
while the events of the res-
cue operation by the daring
Israeli commandos unrav-
eled only a week earlier, has
a screenplay by Paddy
Chayefsky with Sidney Lu-
met set to direct. The book
by Dan and Stevenson was
published by Bantam Books
July 19.
In making the announce-
ment, David V. Picker ad-
mitted that the Paramount
version will be the fourth
picture dealing with the
freeing of the hijacked hos-
tages from the Air France
plane in Uganda, but one
based on extensive inter-
views with key Israeli and
military sources who were
behind the Entebbe rescue
mission.
Universal Studios came
up with their project
"Rescue at Entebbe" within
24 hours after the news
broke on the wire service.
Their epic is being produced
and directed by George Roy
Hill.
Another feature film is
being planned by Murray
Schwartz, president of
Mery Griffin Productions,
who by chance happened
to be on the hijacked Air
France plane from Athens
to Paris. His epic is being
labeled "Odyssey of 139"
and should be the most
revealing one since he ac-
tually was a bystander to
the crime o' f the hijactkers.
"Assault on Entebbe" is
the title of a picture the en-
terprising Elliott Kastner is
preparing at this time.
Producer of many success-
ful pictures, Kastner cur-
rently is represented on the
screen with "The Missouri
Breaks," the Marlon Bran-
do-Jack NiCholson western.
Kastner employs the serv-
ices of Shmuel Erde and
Geoff Berkin for the story
with Erde joined by Kastner
associate Jerry Gershwin
during the actual produc-
tion of the film.
Lionel Stander, a near-
victim of the McCarthy pe-
riod of hysteria and a volun-
tary exile for almost a
quarter of a century, makes
his Hollywood comeback in
Robert Chartoff and Irwin
Winkler's production for
Pd. pot. adv.
Good government
begins with the people
you select, Dorothea Becker
is the Democrat to elect
Vote August 3rd Primary
United Artists, "New York,
New York," joining Liza
Minelli who portrays the
central character. Stander
plays the part of an artist's
agent, almost the same type
of role for which he won an
Oscar nomination in the
Janet Gaynor - Fredric
March film, "A Star Is
Born."
Hitler rides again in the
20th Century-Fox television
spectacular, a three-hour
epic for ABC written by Lio-
nel Chetwynd for executive
producer Jack Haley, Jr.
The tele-play is based on the
premise that Hitler was
captured trying to escape
from Berlin in 1945 and sub-
sequently tried for war
crimes by an international
court of justice. The intrigu-
ing yarn, from a story idea
by Haley and Ronald Lyon
is titled "The Capture and
Trial of Adolf Hitler."
Bette Midler who rose to
fame in the Broadway
production of "Fiddler on
the Roof," then dazzled
theater and concert audi-
ences with her renditions
of the 1940s, '50s and '60s
song hits and is today the
top singer headlining in
nightclubs and television
Israeli Woman
Named at Parley
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The head of the Council of
Women's Organizations in
Israel, Mrs. Pnina Herzog,
scored a success in an inter-
national forum recently,
when she was voted chair-
man of the health commit-
tee of the International
Council of Women.
Mrs. Herzog received 80
votes while a Belgian candi-
date for the honorary post
received 30.
Delegates from 68 coun-
tries attended the conven-
tion. There were no Arab
delegations present, she
said, and everyone made
strenuous efforts to keep
politics out of the delibera-
tions.
She recounted one par-
ticular achievement dur-
ing the debate: at the Asia
and Oceania caucus, of
which Israel is a member,
the Iranian delegate pro-
posed that that caucus rec-
ommend to the plenary
that it adopt a resolution
endorsing the "Decla-
ration of Mexico" on wom-
en's rights. This declara-
tion included a
restatement of the UN
General Assembly resolu-
tion equating Zionism
with racism. The Austral-
ian delegate at Vancouver
demanded — as a holding
action — that copies of the
Mexico text be circulated
before the vote be taken on
whether to endorse it.
Mrs. Herzog asked for the
floor to propose that instead
of endorsing the Mexico dec-
laration, the plenary should
be asked to endorse instead
the "World Plan of Action"
— which was the original
draft of the declaration of
Mexico without the offen-
sive anti-Zionism refer-
ence. This was carried with-
out opposition by the Asia
and Oceania caucus and
later by The full plenary.
as the nation's top money
maker in the recording
field, has gone Hollywood.
She is opening an office at
the Burbank studios and
developing her own
screenplays fashioned by
her and her production
executive Aaron Russo.

his successful "Jaws" nor
"The Deep," by Jaws author
Peter Benchley. Instead he
has embarked on a new ven-
ture, "Close Encounters of
the Third Kind," a science-
fact story which takes the
audience mysteriously out
of space. The picture is
being produced by Julia and
Michael Phillips with Rich-
ard Dreyfus portraying the
lead joined by French writ-
er-director Francois Truf-

ences the chance to view
