The lilms of Martin Hitt have always been marked by a rebel
'pirn Noted for his sharp challenging of the conventions of
movie narrative. Hilt is best known for Hud <1963» and Hombre
1907 1 . which were anything but conventional westerns Often the
director has ventured into areas which few Hollywood
tilmniakers have explored, such as Negro poverty in Sounder
' 1972 1 and studio blacklisting in The Front <1976> Whatever the
theme. Martin Hitt's films have always been colored by a strong
social conscience
Martin Hitt was in Atlanta recently to discuss his latest film.
Norma Bar. with area film students Although almost 60 years
old Hitt is as perceptive, intelligent, and quick-witted as a man
many years younger. He spoke at length about the problems ol
bringing Norma Rae to the screen Loosely based on actual
events, the screen story sprang from a New York Times article
about a woman involved with union organizing. It was so difficult
to convince a major studio to finance the film that Hitt and the
screenwriters agreed to work for half salary. Even so. Columbia
Pictures turned down the story as “too depressing, a decision
which irritated Ritt. As the director put it. “I regard it as a story
about maturing, and maturation of anything cannot be
•depressing'.”
Eventually 20th Century Fox backed the production, confident
due to the success of their strong women's films such as Julia.
The Turning Point, and An l nmarried Woman. Ritt returned the
favor by finishing the film two weeks ahead of schedule and a
half million dollars under budget
Norma Hae differs in many ways from a previous Ritt film
about unions. The Molly Maguires <1969>, which the director
described as "too complicated for audiences.'' Its financial
failure caused Ritt to reexamine his tactics on the new film
“My approach on Norma Rae was strictly meat and potatoes,
he said “It wasn't going to be another Molly Maguires. 1 aimed
for total emotional involvement; this time the audience will know
who to root for."
As always. Ritt brought to his film a concern for avoiding the
standard approach to his material “Originally there was a scene
in which Reuben found that his car had been sabotaged.'' he
explained, “but I cut that scene because I felt it was too
conventional " He added that the "action'' scenes in Norma Rae
are the ones in which Norma manages to convince the workers to
shut down the mill machinery, and the suspenseful scene in which
the workers’ ballots are counted to determine if the mill will be
unionized
A similar break with conventionality occurred when Ritt
decided to film Norma Rae in the midwestern Panavision aspect
ratio "1 love Panavision. I really do." he said “I wanted to use
the widescreen to let the audience see the inside of the mill, since
we were dealing with an area foreign to their eyes. I wanted
them to experience what I experienced the first time I stepped
inside there and felt the floor shaking from the sound of those big
machines!"
Ritt expressed concern that h»i Mm would be mistaken for
endorsirg labor unions. “I'm not a wild pro-unionist." he
explained, “but in this situation the union provides a chance for
these people to better themselves. If the union doesn't come to
their mill, they are doomed " However, to balance the vision.
Ritt included a scene in which two union executives visit the
organizer and subject him to some hrowbeating. though the
director is quick to mention that he has no interest in showing
goons and violence "
Ritt feels the film will be popular, but he worries that it may
not find the proper audience “When a film like Norma Kae
fails. ' he says grimly, “it is a blow lo every serious filmmaker
in this country
When asked lo compare Norma Bar lo the recent Paul
Schrader film Blue foliar, which also dealt with unions. Hill
said. "Our films are quile differenl Paul's view is very cynical
and biller lie's the son of a minister so he has certain things be
has lo gel out ol his system I don't have those problems since I
wasn't a minister's son " Hill paused for a moment as a sly
smile spread across his face and then added. "Of course there
aren't loo main Jewish ‘ministers' around, are there?"
Norma Bar was written by Irving Kavetch and Harriet Frank
Jr The film was shown at sneak previews during February and
will be in general release this spring
