THIS SUMMER’S HITS:
JEWISH CONNECTIONS
The summer’s dramatic hit is, of course,
Dunkirk. Director Christopher Nolan
also wrote the screenplay, but he gives
great credit to historian Joshua Levine,
45ish, who wrote the film’s compan-
ion book, Dunkirk: The History Behind
the Major Motion Picture. Nolan and
Levine interviewed Dunkirk veterans
for several years before the film began
production.
Levine was born in the Bahamas,
became an English barrister, chucked
that for a short-lived acting career and,
finally, a career as an independent
historian. Since 2006, he’s written a
number of books, including three others
on aspects of WWII history. In an Aug.
2 interview with Military.com, Levine
succinctly summed up what the miracle
of Dunkirk meant to Jews and to every
European enemy of Hitler: “I’m Jewish.
If the British had come to terms with
Hitler, well, you know I wouldn’t be here
today. Effectively, the whole of Europe
would have been Nazified. All the
freedoms, all the liberties, everything
that we take for granted in this country
[Britain] would have been bled away.”
The Dunkirk score was written by
Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer, 59, a
frequent Nolan collaborator. Nolan says:
“Hans’ unique score drives the visceral
sense of action the film needs to put
the audience right into the story, using
images, sound and music.” Zimmer’s
mother, a German Jew, escaped to
England in 1939.
This summer’s surprise comedy hit
is Girls Trip, a genuinely funny film with
finely crafted characters. It’s about four
lifelong African American female friends
who renew their sisterhood during a trip
to New Orleans. Critics agree that the
break-out performer is stand-up come-
dian Tiffany Haddish, 37. Her father left
soon after her birth, and she found him
in 2008. He told her he was an Eritrean
(once part of Ethiopia) Jew. If her father
was telling the truth, Haddish is now
the most famous American of Ethiopian/
Eritrean Jewish ancestry.

Songwriter Jimmy Webb was inter-
viewed by NPR right after Glen
Campbell’s death last week. Webb
wrote some of Campbell’s biggest
hits, including “Wichita Lineman” and
“Galveston.” “Nobody compared with
Glen when it came to picking a song
and arranging it,” Webb said. “He left
his stamp on whatever material he did.”
Levine
Haddish
Weiss
This certainly applies to Campbell’s
biggest hit, “Rhinestone Cowboy”
(1975). It was written (words and
music) and first recorded by Larry
Weiss, now 76, but it hardly sold. A
music executive pitched it to Campbell,
who wisely decided to record it, crafting
it into a hit with the help of top pro-
ducer Dennis Lambert, now 70.
Laurence “Larry” Weiss, the son of
a textile manufacturer, was born in
Newark, and raised in Queens and Los
Angeles. He had some success in song-
writing, but had no major hits before
or after “Rhinestone Cowboy.” Living
comfortably in Nashville, according to
a 2013 interview in MAMi magazine,
in 2010 he released an album, Cut and
Scratches, that included the song “My
Forefathers.” MAMi says it’s “Larry’s
tribute to his Jewish ancestors that
proclaims how proud he is to carry on
their tradition.” It’s not a great song, but
I appreciate knowing that the original
Rhinestone Cowboy is a proud Jew. •
