Producers Say Film Is Being Swift-Boated By "Right-Wing Constituency"...

Can a movie be Swift-boated?

That's what the makers of "Munich," one of the year's most provocative titles, are asking themselves as the Steven Spielberg film struggles to find firm footing in a fast-moving Oscar race. Despite mostly good reviews, a handful of award nominations, and the cachet of one of the town's top directors, the film, Spielberg's historical narrative about an Israeli Mossad team hunting down the Palestinian perpetrators of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre, finds itself jostling madly for one of the best picture Oscar berths, with hopes that the all-important Oscar nominations will shore up its, so far, middling box office.
