' notewor- - a it The fact of the matter is that both Front and Woodstock were produced by the Seven Arts regime at Warners just pnor to the Kenney Co. takeover. As is true with most takeovers, the new management deemed everything that was produced by the old management to be junk.

That only heightens their affection, their desire to protect you. Film, Jerry t American Lewis strikes back at 1 Incidentally in the American Film piece, Lewis complains that his last movie, Which Way was to the Front? buried by Warners because it had a thing called Woodstock. Not true. Either Lewis has shielded himself from the truth or he doesn't know tening. They remind me an awful lot of those people who lived in that little town adjacent to Dachau who didnt know what was going on in the ovens. Thats really what they remind me of, ,rThey really dont care. They make a name for themselves on the lives and blood of human beings. Poof! Youre a critic. I think that every man who makes a film is entitled to some kind of regard, but its apparent to me by what they write that they didnt go see the film thats why I call them whores.
