Steven Spielberg, has followed the current trend in Hollywood producing A very expensive Re-make of a 1986 TV production "the Sword of Gideon" which starred Steven Bauer, Michael York and Colleen Dewhurst. Doesn't anybody have an original idea anymore? All Hollywood does these days is Remake old television shows, old movies and old songs, spend an enormous amount of money, cast the 20 something star of the month and tell everyone it is the most important picture of the year. I have a great idea how about Re-making "Norma Rae" starring Jessica Simpson? Or here's another the 10 Commandments starring George Clooney? I've got it we'll combine the 2 a union organizer trying to form the Teamsters Union on Mosses march out of Egypt and paint Mosses as a non- caring self absorbed race baiter. Come on Alec Baldwin needs work and we Haven't heard from Barbara Streisand this year either.

The Seven Ups from a reality standpoint is by far the best produced police drama ever to hit the screen. The story encompasses all the pitfalls and dangers of police undercover work and the alliances between partners as well as the relationships and betrayals of informers. The cast is superb and what made it real and gritty is none of the actors at the time were big stars. The best scene undoubtedly is the ending when Tony Lobianco is pleading with Roy Schieder The music steadily increases and Roy Schieder keeps walking away. The story line is timeless and can be translated every 20 to 25 years in modern remake form. I have been waiting for this movie to be produced on DVD
