Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER. JANUARY 22, 1981 CABLE I Speer helps . ' Art director Alain Negre had a big project ahead of him. He had to reconstruct the underground secret hideout that was the last refuge of Adolf Hitler before the final collapse of the Third Reich. Negre had no problem with the bulk of his research, but he found some badly needed help from someone who was the former actually there Nazi leader and architect, Albert Speer. Negres set serves as the locale for those final days, as depicted in the three-hour dramatic special, The Bunker, starring Anthony Hopkins as Adolf Hitler and Richard Jordan as Albert Speer, to air Tuesday, Jan. 27, on CBS. Negre had to design two sets: the bunker and the Reich Chancellory. He had no problem with the latter, because the Chancellory was a public building. When it was finished, official photographers lavishly documented its inaugural, thereby providing a large amount of visual material from which to work. On the other hand, Negre said, the bunker was very mysterious and secret. Before Nazi bunker re-cre- ate the arrival of the Russians, when the Third Reich fell, there was no documentation at all. Thats why my meeting with Speer was heaven sent. I had three pages of questions to ask him." The questions ranged from the geographical, regarding the layout of the bunker and where each room was placed, to the minute. As an example, Negre explained that no one really knew what type of doors were used inside the bunker. A lot of people thought there were sliding doors, but Speer assured Negre that the doors were simple white ones set on normal hinges. Negre spent an entire day with Speer six weeks before production started and he continually corresponded with him thoughout the filming. Negre also had access to Speers personal photographs and documents. I took pictures of photos Speer had in his home, Negre noted. These photos were essential because Speer designed, among other things, all of Eva Brauns furniture, of which Negre had custom-mad- e copies built for The STAHVIEVV T Creators wars can rock TV series By RUTH THOMPSON Elizabeth Ashley, whir has television, film as well as the- space hero played by Gil Gerard.

Its neophyte author refused to have an play doctor experienced revise the work, she said. Do similar happen in television? They have, but particularly with movies, occasional one-hospecials where the writer lacked the overall contractual control to abort the project and resorted instead to Have my name removed from the credits.

But, emphasizes Erin, that is not what matters most about "Buck Rogers. Its getting away from the concept that because the series evolved from a comic strip, our show is only for children.

The demands of a weekly television series, which gluttonizes the energy equivalent of one Broadway show per week, call for team work. A few series owe their flan control. For vor to Star Trek, it was Gene for Barney Roddenberry; Miller, Danny Arnold. But most of the others owe their success to harmonious writing teams, who, while they take no guff from actors, dont turn deaf ears, either. Thus, even in its pilot movie version, we learn, lovely Erin Gray had some input as to how Col. Wilma Deering, the of female be should Buck Rogers styled.
