Releases Night Crossing |

HOLLYWOOD (AP) —
This month Walt Disney
Productions will release ano-
ther film aimed at improving
the company’s image with
adult moviegoers: Night
Crossing, the real-life story
of two East German families
who flew to freedom in ao
hot-air balloon,

When the two young cou-
ples and their four children
landed in West Germany on
Sept. 16, 1979, news of their
exploits flashed around the
world. Around the millions
who read the news was the:
wife of Disney producer Tom
Leetch. “You're always cry-
ing for a good story for a
movie,” she told her husband.
“Here it is.”

Disney executive producer
Ron Miller agreed, and with-
in 24 hours negotiations be-
gan with Peter Strelzyk and
Gunter Wetzél. “We weren't
the first to ask,” producer
Leetch recalled. “A Japanese
company and others made
offers, Fortunately, the re-
nown of the Disney name ap-
pealed to the Strelzyks and
Wetzels.”

Director Delbert Mann,
Oscar winner for Marty ac-
cepted the project with the
proviso: “I. don't want! to

. make the story into a Swiss
Family Robinson.” The stu-
dio readily agreed to his rea-
Ustic approach.

went to Munich to scout lo-
cations. I visited Naila,
where the baloon landed and
where the Wetzels were’still
living. The landing spot was
within sight of the border,
and I could see the broken
branches of the trees where
the balloon came down,”

Obviously Night Crossing
couldn't be filmed ‘in East
Germany, so Disney enlisted
Bavarian Studios to help find
similar locations.

Landsberg, 65 kilometres
from Munich, became Poes-
sneck, where the two families
lived, and a $300,000 set was
built at Eulenschwang to
simulate the border. Leetch
searched for a company to
construct the balloons, finally
found Balloon Ventures in
Glendale, 10 minutes away
from the, Disney studio.
Seven baloons were built at.
$160,000 apiece.

An Anglo-American cast
was signed: John Hurt, Beau
Bridges, Jane Alexander,
Glynnis O'Connor, Doug Mc-
Keon, Ian Bannen. Filming
was scheduled to begin in
August, 1980, then the
Screen Actors Guild went on
strike.

‘We managed to hold on to
the actors for two months

until the strike was over,”
Mann said. “But starting in
early October meant-that we
would be fighting the on-

i, coming winter. It was brut-

early spring: of 1990,""the
lanky Kansan remembered.
