Thanks for the heads-up Sal....Are they going to get Pia Lindstrom to
play Ingrid Bergman? It's astounding how much Lindstrom now looks like
her mother did at about the same age.

Subject: [Leica] Robert Capa story on Public Television


Friends,
    On May28, 2003 American Masters will air a story about Robert
Capa...
    Below is the description stolen from the American Masters web page.
    Also, I'm told by the reliable source on Robert Capa, Disney bought
the right to do a full length feature film on Capa. The screen play is
being written. On opening date has been set.

PIRATED INFORMATION:
    Robert Capa, the world's preeminent documentarian of 20th century
war, photographed five epic conflicts on three different continents. A
handsome, dashing figure, Capa was a life-long pacifist who wore
military uniforms, rode in tanks, jumped out of planes, dodged bullets
and marched in the front lines. His images have affected the lives of
those who may not even know his name. The only photographer who touched
land with soldiers at Omaha Beach on D-Day, his shocking pictures
inspired Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, more than 50 years
later. As John Steinbeck once said, "he could photograph thought...and
capture worlds." With the full participation of his brother Cornell,
access to IPC and Magnum, this is the first film devoted entirely to
Robert Capa's mythic life -- it is told with the help of his vast legacy
of photographs and writings, at once a testament to great art and to
historical horror.

Happy Snaps,
Sal
