The Red and Black, Wednesday. March 24, 1976
not ordinary
propaganda
By LILA MOORK
Feature editor
The Hiding Place is a World
Wide Pictures release and as
such it has an unmistakable
link to Billy Graham and
company. It is not just another
second-rate propaganda flick,
however
The film tells the story of a
Dutch family who becomes
involved in the Jewish under
ground during the Nazi regime
in Holland The plot centers
around one of the daughters,
Corrie ten Boom, played by
ed The emotions of the audi
ence are touched via barbaric,
crowded conditions, cruel
treatment by the guards, and
the superhuman sacrifices of
Corrie and Betsy.
Because of the obvious time
limitations, pre-prison materi
al is given short shrift. Impor
tant events are skimmed over
and the necessity of including
in rapid sequence certain de
tails that are germaine to the
plot often gives a choppy effect
to the early scenes.
There is no doubt but the
film is geared toward evoking
Movie review
Jeannette Clift. She is gradual
ly transformed from a Chris
tian to a Christian extraor
dinaire.
Arthur O'Connell is adequate
in the role of Papa ten Boom,
the white-bearded patriarch of
the family After the first few
minutes. I hardlv ever got him
confused with the kindly old
grocer he plays in the Crest
commercial.
O’Connell doesn't quite pull
off the imperturbable and in
finitely wise characterization
that is so outstanding in the
book Too often, especially
during the early part of the
movie, he delivers his lines as
though he is reading them
from the Bible True, the
content is often similar, but it
is distracting for a character
to sound as though he is
waiting to be quoted. O'Connell
also manages to took a little
too foolish and senile at times
to be convincing as the old
world saint he is supposed to
be
Betsie ten Boom, the pious
older sister who very literally
can do no wrong, is played by
Julie Harris. As Corrie’s role
model and sometime foil, she
forgives, loves her enemies,
and gives her cough medicine
away to other prisoners, all the
while faithfully pronouncing
her "th’s" as "t's” in the best
Dutch fashion.
Compared with the book, a
disproportionately large a-
mount of the action takes place
in the prison where Betsie and
Corrie are taken after their
anti-Nazi activities are reveal
an emotional response from
the audience. It comes danger
ously close to being a genuine
tear jerker at times, but is
saved by the true pathos
involved and the convincing
picture of prisoner life in Nazi
Germany. I simply question
the inclusion of SO MUCH
convincing prison life.
The Hiding Place probably
won t convert the hard core
cynic but it may produce misty
eyes among more than the
usual handkerchief toters. It
might not be a bad way to
spend an evening if you don’t
mind a little proselytizing at
the end and if you need
reminding of the depths to
which it was possible for
human behavior to sink during
the Nazi regime.
The Hiding Place is showing
at Palace II.
