film-stars

and the most famous

Yugoslavian actors.

Bulajic has a special talent,

which can be seen in the film.

His mass scenes are emotional

to the public.

That is a special gift, gift that

we didnt see even in Cecil B. De Mille.

Actors, be more proud. The minister

is speaking, the senator is speaking!

That is not happening every day.

Brother cetniks, hear me!

Tito's head will

soon fall here-in front of my legs!

Prominent world-actors were guests

at the Tito's residence at Brioni.

President Tito evoked memories of

the fateful days of the last war,

where he made an imortant decision

to demolish the bridge

to deceive the enemy,

and immediately build antoher one,

to rescue the wounded soldiers.

The artists have listened to Tito's words

about dramatic historic happenings.

The artists will plant those stories

on the film screen.

Run away now! Go!

Fire!

Forestman, let's run!

You start! Wounded run!

"Down with force and injustice

People will judge it themself,

Go away night shadows,

our day has come "

What is this?

I don't know.

Storm!

Memo Begovic

statist

In '68 shooting of a movie

began here,

and the director was Montenegrian,

Veljko Bulajic.

He looked for someone who plays the flaute,

to fulfill the film.

I said to him:
"What else do you need?"

"I didn't catch the camera right

return and repeat it. "

And that was it.

This kind of films by equipment,

couldn't make even the best in the world.

Push it.

Americans, they couldn't show

'Battlle of Neretva', no theory.

So much planes,tanks and else,

and to throw it in the river

to be seen in the film,

there's no one but us that can make that.

When Tito said that we can.

When he confirmed, we could do

whatever we wanted.

You could destroy the bridge.

When I came to Jablanica with the crew,

I proposed

to demolish the bridge for the film.

What are you going to do with the bridge?

- To destroy it.

Bridge?

Without destroying the bridge in this way

ta prizor ne bi bil tako dober.

What's going on, Duka?

Vlado, destroy the bridge!

We must destroy the bridge.

Ivan, that is Tito's order.

The end!

We have made a

pirotechnic probe,

for the effects, light and smoke.

To be sure

that we catch

the destroying of bridge.

We had six cameras.

I gave a command to record with all six.

And recording started.

It was a dramatic moment.

We risked it.

It was perfectly organised.

With Russian and German pirotechnic equipment,

and Yugoslavian cameras. It was perfect.

It's interesting, when bridge

was destroyed,

When bridge fell

cameras were recording,

not a single camera recorded

the actual fall of the bridge.

Wait, but you can see that in the film.

- Yes, but that's a maquete.

No. Maquete was different.

Maquete was used before that,

for practice.

We destroyed real bridge.

I proposed to house of Jablanica,

to build the museum

on both sides of the bridge.

In order to attract the turists.

How long it have been

tourist attraction, I do not know.

People were standing by the bridge

and photographing it.

I do not know what is now

with the bridge, is someone in charge

and is it an object that would

atrract the tourists.

Glory and thank you.

People fix the bridge!

'Battle of Neretva' had

big sucess.

It was nominated for an oscar.

The film was shown

to whole Europe.

President of judges in Monte Carlo,

close friend of Pablo Picasso,

said to Picasso that

he saw an interesting film.

He proposed to Picasso

that he make the plaquette for the film.

As you can see,

Picasso made a plaquette for the film.

That was the second and final

plaquette that he made.

The first he made was in 1928

for Bunuel,

this was the second plaquette

in his career.

From 1948 till 1970

I was'nt on vacation.

When I went to retirement in 1970,

general Balenovic went to Tito.

"Comrade president,

Aleksandar Konstantinovic Leka

should be retired. "

Comrade president thought

and then responded:

"Let him retire,

but to continue working with me. "

This is the watch, that I received.

On the back it's written 'Tito'.

The big sucess of 'Battle of Neretva'

convinced Tito,

to alllow,

that his character appear on film.

The question arrised

who will be the actor.

Tito choosed.

It is known that director

chooses the actors.

But, as Tito was alive,

it was normal

that he will choose.

Richard Burton met Tito

before the start of shooting.

Many times they hung out together.

He had his concepion,

of course, agreeing with Tito.

President Josip Broz Tito and

his wife Jovanka

on Brioni recepted famous film-stars.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Burton was Tito

in the new super-spectacle "Sutjeska".

It's important to,

that Tito was wounded on Sutjeska.

If the wound has been

deadly,

it could have changed the

whole history.

It's one of the most important

moments in his life,

so he watched it very carefully.

He was reading the scenario, going

through material he gave his opinion.

Comrade Tito,

the British mission came.

Message for Tito.

- Should I carry it?

I don't trust them.

I don't trust them too.

You're good.

From the conversation of president Tito

and the crew of the film 'Sutjeska'.

Stane Dolanc:

That scene when the president Tito,

is injured, I think something is missing.

Nobody came to Comrade Tito.

Tito:
Nobody came...

I was going after to see if

you are alive or not.

That is right. No one came to me.

Dolanc:
I agree Comrade Tito, that's

what you know and a few more people.

Although, the world wants to know

how nobody approaches Tito now.

People don't know.

Tito says, nothing is changing.

So you are pleased with today's work?

We shouldn't make something so powerful.

- No, it is good.

Attack!

The winner of the 20th joubilar festival is

the film "Sutjeska" from director Stipe Delic.

The audience that is

always faithfull to the festival,

warmly greeted the actors.

I declare Comrade Tito

for the president without a limit of

a mandate.

Declaration of Tito as the

life-long president, 1974

Tito and Yugoslavia

as the symbol of sucess.

Wherever you go there was

hospitality.

We enjoyed a big

respect in the world.

I met Tito when he was

visiting America.

Hollywood stars made a reception

in honour to Tito, 1974

He asked me, are we going to talk

serbian or serbo-croatian.

I said how would you like.

- Serbo-Croatian!

He said, you speak terrific language,

where were you born?.

"In Yugoslavia" I said.

"I was born there but I came here in 1952"

- "So, you escaped?"

"Of course that I escaped"

- "I would do the same"

I came to Yugoslavia in 1975,

it was a great life here. Great.

I couldn't believe that you suceeded

in Comunism.

Children were going to the seaside,

to the mountains,

Healthcare and education

were completely free.

I couldn't believe how it

was free.

That sucess was not real.

But we must pay now, because

we took loans. I don't know.

"To know all - No problem"

It is an expression which means
