you originally get in volved with Music Box A They sent me the script I loved it but I had some problems with it which thejL resolved Basically the ending of the first draft was much more sensational and they toned it down later drafts There are so many other films now that deal with the Holocaust Are you afraid Music Box will get lost in the crush A I dont see it as a Holocaust film To me its a love story an exploration of a daughters love for her father and the loyalty she feels toward him Theres been a lot of press lately that the Holocaust is a tough sell to movie audiences A Music Boi
