MOVIES - Jan. 23, 1989

Willem Dafoe and Edward James Olmos will star in “Triumph of the Spirit,” which begins filming Feb. 6 in the historic death camp of Auschwitz. It’s the true story of a young Greek boxing champ who was forced to fight others interned at Auschwitz in matches where only the victor survived. Oscar-winning producer Arnold Kopelson (“Platoon”) says: “This is the most important motion picture I will ever make.”
