Playing for Time (movie)
People did not like that directors chose Vanessa Redgrave to be Fania Fénelon.  Redgrave did not like Israel and was pro-Palestine.  Fénelon herself said that Redgrave was too tall and did not have a good sense of humor, which she said was one way she stayed alive in the camp.  She wanted Liza Manelli instead of Redgrave.
