Apparently an artifact that Tom Cruise used in his movie “Valkyrie” has upset one San Fransico advertising executive.
A replica of Hitler’s globe was used in the movie and Robert Pritikin, who paid $100,000 for the original globe, says that it was used without permission.
Pritikin owns the copyright of the globe’s image as well. He has copyrighted the image to prevent it from being used in neo-Nazi propaganda and was surprised to see it show up in “Valkyrie”.
Investigator Paul Barresi, who was hired by Pritikin, said, “Pritikin believes the globe should be used as a teaching tool so the lessons of Hitler’s nightmare can keep history from repeating itself.”
Most likely this was just an oversight and can be handled quickly and resolved in court.
Baressi has come up with a possible solution to the problem. "I think it would be a wonderful gesture of good will on Tom Cruise’s part to purchase the globe along with all of the other Hitler artifacts owned by Mr. Pritikin and donate them to the [Simon] Wiesenthal Center,” he said.
