Filmmakers Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Pedro Almodovar demand Polanski’s release (Moral Decay: Polanski, at age 43, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl)
ZURICH, Switzerland (CNN) — Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar and Martin Scorsese have “demanded the immediate release” of fellow filmmaker Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. arrest warrant related to a 1977 child sex charge.
Polanski was on the way to the Zurich Film Festival when Swiss police detained him in response to the American warrant.
