Man on a Tightrope//One

(Fourteen parts) Czechoslovakia, 1952: Karel Cernik struggles to keep his Circus Cernik together, despite mounting restrictions laid on him by the new communist regime. When local officials order him to dismiss foreign members of his troop or face its liquidation, his dream of escape to the West becomes a plan. This was based on an actual incident, which was the basis of Neil Paterson's story "International Incident". Some of the supporting roles in this film were played by performers who made the escape with Circus Brumbach. Historical fact has of course been embelished a bit, and the American accents require some suspension of disbelief. But in the stark, violent ending, one gets a feeling of having witnessed a very real event. Filmed in Bavaria. (I apologize for jitters in the video. These are probably due to conversion from TV analog to digital format.) ABOUT ELIA KAZAN: A former communist, Elia Kazan made a turnaround after learning of the repressions of Stalin's regime, and later testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee about several Hollywood professionals who were communists or communist sympathizers--a step for which many in Hollywood never forgave him. "Man on a Tightrope" is one of his lesser-known, rarely-seen works. A few additional notes from the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) website: "...Neil Paterson's book first appeared as a novelette in the British magazine Lilliput under the title International Incident. As noted by contemporary sources, the film is loosely based on real incidents involving the Brumbach Circus, which escaped from Communist-controlled East Germany to West Germany in 1950. Unlike the escape in the film, however, circus owner Gustav Brumbach slowly moved a few camouflaged pieces of equipment and performers at a time, over a period of several months. Contemporary sources note that many members of the Brumbach Circus, including Madame Brumbach and dwarf Hansi, appeared in or worked on the film, which was shot...

(12/12)Battlefield I The Battle for Italy Episode 6 (GDH)

--SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT World War II VIDEOS---- --UPLOADED Weekly--- Videos Running Time 01:54:00 in 12 Parts Battlefield I: The Battle of Italy Excellent episode chronicling the invasion of Sicily and Italy. Opeartion Minemeat, The Allied deception plan prior to the Sicily invasion, worked perfectly. The Germans second guessed themselves and began shifting units away from Sicily. The German 1st Panzer Division was moved to Greece and the 16SS Panzer Grenadier Division redeployed to Corsica. Mincemeat was the placing of manufactured information on a dead Major Martin and floating him out to sea. Sicily was invaded by the American 7th and the British 8th Armies on July 9th 1943. The Italian 6th Army defended Sicily with 300,000 men. However, the real offensive/defensive capability was the German 14th Panzer Korps. The Herman Goring Panzer Division, the 1st Fallschirmjager Division and the 15 and 29th Panzer Grenadier Divisions, conducted an excellent phased withdraw, saving thousands of troops. Cooperation between the 7th and 8th Armies was abysmal. The advance in Sicily degenerated into a race. The opportunity to trap thousands of elite German units and valuable equipment was lost. Lt. Gen. Pattons behavior, comments and insubordination to Gen. Alexander, cost him his 7th Army command, and quite possibly command of the 12th Army Group in 1944 France. The Allied invasion of Salerno, Operation Avalanche, on September 9th 1943, came close to a disaster. Naval gunfire was able to blunt German counter-attacks. Luftwaffe attacks claimed several ships. The crisis was averted and both the 5th and 8th Armies advanced. With elite German formations, defensive terrain and the Brilliance of Field Marshall Albert Kesselring, the Allies advance grind to a halt before the Gustav Line. The Anzio operation accomplished nothing, but serve into German propaganda. The taking of Monte Cassino by British, Polish, French, Indian and New Zealand troops could have assisted in...
