'Skokie' gets
mixed review
By DIANE DUBEY
Staff Writer
SPEAKING WITHOUT the self-consciousness of the officials portrayed in
the CBS docudrama “Skokie,” three
village trustees whose roles weren’t
included in the film gave it mixed reviews nonetheless.
Jackie Gorell charcterized the movie, to be aired Tuesday, Nov. 17, as
“too long” and “repetitious.” Although
the film-makers apparently tried to
present all viewpoints, she said, someone familiar with Skokie would find
the movie “very distracting.”
Gorell objected to the portrayal of
the people she knows well: “Eli Wallach was too intense (to play) Harvey
Schwartz - but who knows that except
people who know Harvey Schwartz?”
BUT THE portrayal of Skokie Police
Chief Kenneth Chamberlain in the
character of the fictional Chief Buchanan annoyed her the most.
“Chief Chamberlain is not the typical
hard-nosed, loud-mouth cop,” she said.
“He’s polite and soft-spoken.”
Proximity to the leading characters
created distractions for the other trustees, also.
Saying the film was “too long and
dragged in the middle,” Frank M C Cabe said the problem “comes when
you try to combine fact and fiction.
“People who don’t know people will
say it’s fine,” he said, calling “Skokie”
an “overall fairly accurate representation of the way I remember things happening.”
Manly Croft agreed that “certain
things don’t ring true,” but attributed
this departure from fact to the fact the
film is a docu-drama, not a documentary.
"I GENERALLY thought the movie
was pretty good, patricularly in handling the emotional issues concerning
the survivors,” he said.
Skokie’s Corporation Counsel Harvey
Schwartz, possibly the only person who
didn’t assume the village attorney in
“Skokie” was supposed to be Harvey
Schwartz, said he “didn’t inject (his)
ego into this.
“It isn’t me, the characters don’t
correlate,” he said. “It doesn’t portray
my relationship with (Mayor) Al Smith
or, for that matter, it wasn’t even entirely correct on the legal issues Skokie
was asserting.”

Description
An account of the resource
<p>During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> to see the events as they unfolded. The library's digital collection, seen here, includes newspaper articles, editorials, recordings from the Skokie Village Board of Trustees meetings, a memoir written by a local clergywoman, and two documentary films.</p>
