I had no luck Googling, so I am hoping the brilliant minds of Arfcom can help with the following movies and book.

The first is a book, and its actually written in cartoon/comic book format.  Its based on a Jewish family hiding from the Nazis in WWII, and each group of people are represented by a different animal.  The Jews are drawn as mice, the Nazis as cats, the French as Frogs, and the Americans as dogs.  What is the name of this book??

Next is a Clint Eastwood movie, and all I caught was a brief portion of it (less than ten minutes).  Its one of his older movies, and may be based right after WWII.  Eastwood's character is at a very formal dinner with a rather attractive woman.  The female is discussing something, and is being very negative towards Jewish people.  Eastwood eventually goes in to a story about another woman, and calls her the "damndest, ugliest bitch he has ever known", and goes on with the "damndest bitch" tirade for quite some time and ultimately directs it to his current female guest.  What is this movie?  It was actually on TV today, but I cannot recall the channel.

Finally, the last movie may have been an HBO movie, or even a made for TV movie, I am not sure.  Anyway, it involves the Nazis and SS before (or at the beginning of) WWII.  The higher ups are all sitting around a large conference table, and they are discussing who constitutes a Jew, and who would be exterminated based on their "Jewish" portion and family ancestery.  This is pretty much the movie, their discussion of who would be killed.  Any ideas??

John Wilson: I would like to tell you a little story.

Mrs. MacGregor: Oh, I love stories.

John Wilson: Well, you mustn't interrupt now, because you're way too beautiful to interrupt people. When I was in London in the early 40's, I was dining one evening at the Savoy with a rather select group of people, and sitting next to me was a very beautiful lady, much like yourself.

Mrs. MacGregor: Now you're pulling my leg.

John Wilson: Now, just listen, dear. Well, we were dining and the bombs were falling, and we were all talking about Hitler and comparing him with Napoleon, and we were all being really brilliant. And then, suddenly, this beautiful lady, she spoke up and said that was the thing she didn't mind about Hitler, was the way he was treating the Jews. Well, we all started arguing with her, of course. Though, mind you, no one at the table was Jewish. But she persisted. Are you listening, honey?

Mrs. MacGregor: Mustn't interrupt Daddy.

John Wilson: That's right. You're way too beautiful for that. Anyway, she went on to say that that's how she felt about it, that if she had her way, she would kill them all, burn them in ovens, like Hitler. Well, we all sat there in silence. Then finally, I leaned over to her and I said, "Madam, I have dined with some of the ugliest goddamn bitches in my time. And I have dined with some of the goddamndest ugly bitches in this world. But you, my dear, are the ugliest bitch of them all." Well, anyway, she got up to leave and she tripped over a chair and fell on the floor. And we all just sat there. No one raised a hand to help her. And finally when she picked herself up I said to her one more time: "You, my dear, are the ugliest goddamn bitch I have ever dined with." Well, you know what happened? The very next day, she reported me to the American Embassy. And they brought me in for reprimand. And then when they investigated it, they found out she was a German agent. And they locked her up.

[smiles]

John Wilson: Isn't that amazing?

Mrs. MacGregor: Why did you tell me that story?

John Wilson: Oh, I don't know. It wasn't because I thought you were a German agent, honey. But I was tempted tonight to say the very same thing to you. I didn't want you to think I had never said it before. You, madam, are the - Well, you know the rest.

Nope, It was White Hunter, Black Heart.  It was written about the filming of "The African Queen", and based upon truth.
