Show Film Script Was Written I On Thin Cigarette Papers A remarkable war film, "Soldiers "Sol-diers Without Uniforms," made by Belgian patriots under the noses of the Gestapo, will be shown in England shortly. The film "studios" were within 300 yards of the barracks in Brussels Brus-sels where German troops were billeted. The scenario was written in miniature characters on cigarette ciga-rette paper, so that the producers, in an emergency, could swallow evidence that meant certain death before the firing squad. For several of the parts the actors ac-tors used uniforms stolen from German officers and men, and some of the minor actors were not told what the main story of the film was so great was the danger of somebody talking. The company came near disaster disas-ter when the last "shots" were being taken three days after the liberation. A Belgian cyclist was horrified to see what he thought were armed German soldiers in a field. He reported the matter to a British soldier, who, fortunately, could not understand a word he said. |
