Lutz was given permission to save “5,000 units,” which he deliberately misinterpreted to mean 5,000 families. Lutz’s passes are believed to have saved 10,000 children and half the Jewish population of Budapest from Nazi death camps.

Film still from The Parallax View showing Hume Cronyn and Warren Beatty in a darkened room with a map behind them. Cronyn is wearing a suit and a fedora, and Beatty, whose hair is down to this collar, wears a casual jacket. They both look serious; Cronyn looks almost hostile. The headline above is "Hell, no we don't think heh got shot in the ear." And below "Is there any reason why should?"
Below, Warren Beatty, #botd in 1937, and Hume Cronyn in the paranoid classic The Parallax View...which we are now living. Just one of movies that have Beatty-fied us, from Splendor in the Grass to Bonnie & Clyde, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Shampoo, Reds + many more. Felicitations!
