Andy...this is very much like the WW1 trenches joke. Officer says to private: " A message...send reinforcements,we are going to advance. Pass it on! " And by the time it gets 2 miles down the communications trench the message is"Send Three and fourpence,we're going to a dance". Cornel

Meine Lieben Czernowitzer:

Regarding the storm in the teacup in the Romanian press announcing that
Dustin Hoffman is Jewish and that his parents are from Romania and that
he has signed up to play Popovici in our film, Romanian journalists are
highly imaginative.

I will copy here the press release that I had sent out in January which
snowballed into this mountain of misinformation. One doesn’t send out
such releases so early in the game but I was hoping to find another
co-producer and that part of the release, as well as other meaningful
parts, may have got lost in translation.
