Cruise Movie Gets OK to Film at Key Site

The German government will allow the makers of a movie starring Tom Cruise as the country's most famous anti-Hitler plotter to film at the site where the hero was executed. Shooting of ''Valkyrie,'' which has attracted controversy because Cruise is a prominent Scientologist, began in July. At the time, the government didn't give permission to shoot at the so-called Bendlerblock -- part of the Defense Ministry and now a memorial to the anti-Nazi resistance -- citing concerns over ''the dignity of the place.''
