- Maura McGiveney was born Mary Alish McGiveney on February 28, 1939 in Stockport, England, the daughter of "quick change" actor Owen McGiveney and Elizabeth Hughes. She studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and first came to Hollywood to work in film, appearing in an uncredited role as an attendant in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959). Primarily working in television, she was in several episodes of Perry Mason and Hawaii 5-0, and also appeared in Dr. Kildare, McHale's Navy, The Virginian, Laredo and My Three Sons.
McGiveney earned a Golden Globe nomination from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as Most Promising Newcomer of 1966 for her role as Claire Hackett in the farcical comedy Do Not Disturb, with Doris Day and Rod Taylor. On stage, she appeared in Harvey, The Second City, and The Fantasticks, among other productions.
Maura was a comedian and singer as well as an actress. In what she hoped to be her ticket to fame, she appeared in Turn-On, a projected series similar to the successful TV show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Turn-On's sole episode aired February 5, 1969, with the curvaceous McGiveney as "The Body Politic," a member of the repertory company. The rather sexually explicit themes, jokes and remarks led to ABC affiliates refusing to broadcast the second episode, and the sponsor Bristol-Myers immediately cancelled it, even though five shows were filmed and twenty-one more were planned. Maura said, "I still can't understand it. We were all so sure it was going to be a big hit."
On January 10, 1972, she married longtime on-and-off boyfriend William Szathmary, also known on television as Bill Dana, in Las Vegas, NV. The couple were divorced four months later in Los Angeles.
Maura McGiveney died of cirrhosis of the liver on November 10, 1990 in Sherman Oaks, CA. at the age of 51. - Dudley Jones was born on 26 December 1914 in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, UK.

Djamel-Eddine Chanderli is an Algerian director. In the middle of the Algerian war of independence, he joined the maquis and was considered the first Algerian to produce images from inside the country in struggle. In 1957, Djamel-Eddine was part of the team of the cinema service which was created by the GPRA (Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic).
The first independent Algerian images of a documentary nature were therefore born in the maquis of the National Liberation Army (ALN) in 1957. Participating in a real war of images intended to counter colonial propaganda, they are known under the title "Ambush between EI -Arrouch and Azzaba" showing an ambush filmed in 1956. These images were intended to participate in the war against colonial France faced with the legitimacy of the Algerians' fight for their freedom; a fight that the whole world had to know about. Other notable productions took place in the middle of the war. Among them, The Ouenza Mine Attack, The ALN Nurses, The Refugees, in 1957. In 1961, there was Algeria in Flame, Sakiet Sidi Youcef, Djazaïrouna, The Rifles of Liberty , I'm 8 years old, The voice of the people, Let's go children for Algeria and Yasmina.

In 1958, Djamel-Eddine Chanderli directed with Pierre Clément "Algerian Refugees", a film about refugees at the borders. To prepare for the debate on the Algerian question at the UN, Chanderli, Mohamed Lakhdar Hamina and Pierre Chaulet were entrusted, in 1959, by the Ministry of Information of the GPRA with the production of "Djazaïrouna" (Our Algeria), a film by montage intended to enlighten the international community on the objectives pursued by the Algerian resistance fighters. In 1961, he made a short fiction film which tells the story of little Yasmina, her flight after the bombing of her village, her wandering with her chicken to the border and her life among the refugees.
