Walter Bernstein Late in the summer of 2019, screenwriter Walter Bernstein, probably best known for his work with Martin Ritt on Paris Blues (1961) and The Front (1976) and with Sidney Lumet on Fail Safe (1964), turned one hundred. To mark the occasion, his good friend of thirty years, novelist Walter Mosley, interviewed him for Literary Hub. “In all my adult life,” wrote Mosley, “I have never met a more intelligent, loving, sensitive, questioning, heroic man.” Bernstein, who passed away over the weekend at the age of 101, grew up in Brooklyn among left-leaning Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Early on, as a teen during the Depression, he developed a sense that “the system was out of whack,” as he told Camera in the Sun editor Christian Niedan in 2013. “There was something wrong there that was ....

The blacklist began to weaken in the late 1950s and ended for Bernstein in 1959 with That Kind of Woman, starring Sophia Loren. He was soon working on The Magnificent Seven, the Hollywood adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s classic Seven Samurai, and Marilyn Monroe’s last film that never finished , Something’s Gotta Give. In the 1970s, Bernstein was able to use his own story for what became his most acclaimed project, The Front, starring Woody Allen as a stand-in for blacklisted writers and featuring Bernstein’s friend Zero Mostel, who also had been ostracised in the 50s. Bernstein received an Academy Award nomination in 1977 and a Writers Guild of America prize for best screen drama.

Bar-Mitzvah in front of the Auschwitz entrance The scale of the Shoah prevents us from perceiving it in a whole. Human psyche’s self-defence mechanism is evoked, often blocking us from absorbing it in its enitre shocking volume. We know its methodic plan and idea. We also know the incomprehensible outcome of it. It comes as facts of history. But what connects us with our brethren perished in that unspeakable crime is the way of personal identification with real people from those six – and in all likeness, more – million murdered Jews. That’s why many of us randomly adopt one Jewish person from the Yad Vashem data-base every January 27th, to identify with that Polish girl, or that Hungarian boy, or that Lithuanian woman. My husband and I are doing it annually, and we treasure that somber but also warm and personal moment when a face and a name appears on our screens and we are able to commemorate the taken lives of more than six million souls while identifying ....
