caught the first 90-minute
segment at a special press
screening. It is not easy to
digest the whole, many-
faceted picture in one ses-
sion.
From the soft texture of
the beginning, Syberberg
takes us to a gaudy carnival
setting where the narrator
is surrounded by characters
representing Hitler in mul-
tiple disguises as Caligari,
Hamlet, Richard Wagner's
ghost, Napoleon, a house
painter, the child murderer
portrayed by Lorre in "M"
and a badly done imitation
of Chaplin pushing and
kicking the globe. A variety
of puppets, dolls, store
mannequins represent
those leading figures in the
Hitler hierarchy and some
of their victims.
Pandemonium breaks
loose with a series of vau-
deville acts based on
legends and desire accen-
tuated by the hoarse voice
(the real one) of Adolf Hitler
engaged in his sheer endless
tirades and by bits and
pieces from speeches of
Goering, Goebbels and
Himmler. Appropriate
selections by Wagner,
Beethoven, Mozart and
Haydn are heard to pep up
the visual aspect.
We must object to some
anti-Semitic remarks that
hit us in the belly when the
ringmaster accompanies
the burning of books at the
Reichstag in 1933 with re-
marks that the tycoons of
Hollywood also censor free
expression- in the cinema.
Syberberg's mouthpiece
then Mentions that such
Russian directors as Eisens-
thin and Pudovkin were at-
tacked by the Soviets for
their unconventional films
and their works mutilated.
Evidently, to stir up the
flames of racial intolerance,
the filmmaker comes up
with the absurd observation
that the Jews of Hollywood
remained silent during the
heydays of the McCarthy
smear campaign. Yet, most
of the actors, writers, and
directors caught in the ter-
ror of the House Un-
American investigations
were. Jewish, such as Her-
bert Biberman, Gordon
Kahn, John Howard Law-
son, Lillian Hellman, John
Garfield, Robert Rosson,
Alvah Bessie, to name just a
few. Some served prison
terms for their convictions.

`While Messiah
Tarried' Issued
as a Paperback
"While Messiah Tarried
— Jewish Socialist Move-
ments, 1871-1917," by Nora
Levin, has just been issued
as a paperback by Schocken
Books.
This voluminous work,
dealing with all aspects of
Socialism among Jews, ap-
peared as a hard-cover book
in 1977 and was reviewed
by Allen Warsen in The
Jewish News issue of F'eb. 3,
1978.
Socialist Zionism as well
as the anti-Zionist Socialist
movements are analyzed in
the Nora Levin study.
munists, but strongly be-
lieved in the freedom of ex-
pression granted by the
American Constitution —
something the German in-
tellectuals of yesterday and
today seem not to under-
stand. At another point,
Syberg talks about the Six
Million — but is too coy to
admit that they were Jews.
And last, not least, he lists a
number of great authors,
among them Stefan Zweig
and Kurt Tucholsky, who
had escaped the Nazis but
took their lives in firm sol-
idarity with those who were
sent to concentration camps
and extermination centers.
There was no reason to
link the heads of Hol-
lywood's film studios to the
thought control exercised
by the leaders of the Third
Reich who had taken com-
plete control of body and
mind of a people of 90 mil-
lion — seemingly to the
satisfaction of the populace.
