Last night CBC ran a story about General Romeo Dallaire- the man whom the UN sent to command UN peacekeepers in Rwanda after a peace agreement had been signed. This man witnessed the genocide and was unable to stop it. He had sent many and frequent requests to NY- and was refused any kind of help- financial, with arms or personnel. The Academy Award winning Canadian documentary tells the story *Hotel Rwanda".
The (b/w)1948 movie version of Tolstoy's classic *Anna Karenina* is probably most enjoyed by film historians. Although true to the dialogue, only the scenes with hollywood appeal were lavished; considering the daunting job of translating this masterpiece to film, a commendable effort. Costume design rated an Oscar. (IMHO )
