West German morale sags as Hollywood war films spark ire
A West German reader notes morale dropping as American films paint Germans as villains and losers. He criticizes TV's WW II focus, especially ABC 12 O Clock High and Hogan's Heroes, for treating war as farce, while praising NBC The Wackiest Ship in the Navy and previewing other WWII era shows, cautioning against sentimentalized comedies.

Once a Thief film review at the Palace
The Palace hosts Jacques Bar and Ralph Nelson's Once a Thief starring Alain Delon with Ann Margret and Jack Palance. The critic faults the rambling script and uneven cast while noting strong camera work and a promising but unfulfilled plot about a parolee trying to go straight amid heists and police pressure. Delon’s American debut is deemed a bomb, though potential for future work is mentioned.
