long awaited film about "the most dangerous jew in the world", 26 June 2008
Author: marymorrissey from United States

which was another title rosa entertained the possibility of using. when he announced it was forthcoming at a screening in LA I distinctly recall the collective gasp of the public, in anticipation: the subject seemed like the perfect one for rosa... but ... the film turned out nicht so gut, a big disappointment. actually I didn't see the whole thing but only walked out really cause I was visiting a strange city when it happened to stumble upon a chance to see one of its first screenings in the US, in Miami, where winsome elian gonzales was just about to be snatched from his home and riots were about to ensue.my feeling was he rushed into production on this one. it needed more rewrites to be the crowning glory of rosa his fan's tentatively but erroneously anticipated... and I wondered why he turned it over to the writers he chose rather than write it himself.
