Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 13, Week 6

I wonder how Joe Mantegna would feel if he knew that approximately fifty people mistook him (from behind) for Walter Matthau. What do you think -- flattered, or horrified? Regardless, that's Fat Tony himself next to Mia Farrow from Woody Allen's quasi-remake of Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits, 1990's Alice. As with all of Allen's films (up until the DreamWorks years) I was there on opening day -- December 25, in fact -- freezing my ass off on line with the rest of the die-hard Woody fans. I disliked the film tremendously at the time, and was angry that I had queued up for so long for something so....twee. Now, years later, I think it's one of the Woodman's most charming, albeit flawed, films. It's full of wonderful moments that never quite converge to form a satisfying whole, and a tremendous let down after the brilliance of 1989's Crimes and Misdemeanors, but an interesting experiment nonetheless in the art of the remake. This week -- with the joyous news that MC Rove is about to cut and run, I felt a political-themed film was in order. Name it. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!

i knew the movie, chanel purse dead give away, but i didn't know it was supposed to be a re-make of juliet of the spirits. i thought it was a biography of mia farrow.

btw, the actor in this one. i LOVE him.

So you spent Christmas Day 1990 watching Alice instead of The Godfather Part III? I chose GIII and I'm still not ashamed to admit it.

Saw Godfather III on New Year's Day. With a hangover. With a friend from Japan who spoke little English. She loved it.

"The President's Analyst" is one of three movies from the 60's that is more than likely going to stay in my brain for a long time (the other two are "Blow Up" and "Bullitt") and I think it is, next to The Coen Brothers' film "Raising Arizona" the craziest film I ever saw. What an outrage that James Coburn did not get an Oscar nomination that year-what his character goes through (better yet-the whole movie) is beyond surreal. That would had been a nominee list to die for in 1967: Coburn, Hoffman, Beatty, Newman, and Steiger.
