Ed Zubrow urged that we: >...read the book The Pianist by Wladyslaw Szpilman ... a short, true >memoir by a Polish Jew who manages to survive WW II while hiding in the >Warsaw ghetto. ... Kevin Sutton seconded Ed's recommendation, adding: >...I have also heard that Roman Polanski is making a film of Spzilman's >life. This is one of the most moving and riveting books I have read in >years! Don't miss it! Polish Radio news last night -- transmitted by CBC Radio's overnight service for insomniacs -- reported a press conference held by Polanski in Warsaw yesterday. Production of the film is about to begin; it's slated to be completed in 11 weeks. Though some actors were named, Polanski plans to treat Spzilman's book more like a documentary than as a novel.
