      Close, but no. That's OP with the shades in the back and Scooby on the right with the handbag.

              Truly a funny movie. But in Zelig, Woody personally pizzed off Hitler during a speech. In To Be or Not to Be the Hitler we see is an actor playing Hitler. And no indication if he was pizzed off or not. Sig Ruman played Colonel Ehrhardt and had the great line: "What Tura (Benny) did to Shakespeare we are doing now to Poland."

                Terrific film. But no evidence Hitler ever saw it. And if he did, that would be real life, not the movie. In Zelig, Woody had an angry Hitler turn around, hand on hip, wanting to know who the h*ll was distracting from his speech. Adenoid Hinkel is different from our Adolph.

                And if we can't agree on pizzing off Hitler, surely we can agree on "I say we lynch the little Heeb."

                        After Moore won his court case, he had his custom made silver inlaid chest stolen by a Continental Air Lines baggage handler in Houston. Moore transported the costume, the hat, the pistols and the mask in the chest. A major news story, coming so soon after the court victory. HPD quickly wrapped it up, caught the guy, and got the chest back to Moore.

                          Fistful Of Dollars actually involved a lawsuit, I believe. Kurosawa won.

                              Best opera written in German, sung in Swedish, with English subtitles:

                              Ingmar Bergman's The Magic Flute.

                              The Papageno - Papagena duet is fun, and the Queen of the Night's aria in the second act is incredibly mind-blowing.
