Speaking of the Jewish bosses - Sheldon, Friedkin, and Fine ... here's a delightful story from Sheldon Leonard's book “And the Show Goes On” (NY: Limelight Editions, 1995) about Fouad Said, cinematographer extraordinaire, who was born in Egypt.
“We were shooting in Guadalajara when the 7-Day War broke out in Israel. On the morning of the day after Israel trashed the Egyptian army, destroying their ground and air forces, Fouad Said approached Friedkin, Fine, and me, his 3 Jewish bosses, as we were standing in the huge Central Market planning camera setups.
“‘Today all the shots will be out of focus.’ he said and stalked away.”
As always,
