| A childhood favorite, but now....not so much. The face behind Life magazine is that of Major Toht, a Nazi who will meet a most unfortunate ending in Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Though Ronald Lacey played the part of the Lorre-esque nemesis, a regular reader emailed to say that the eyes are in fact those of Visual Effects Supervisor Dennis Muren. Any Spielberg scholars care to comment? I'm spending a great deal of time this week catching up on 2007 releases I missed earlier in the year. So far, only The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford has been something of a revelation, with Michael Clayton, The Savages, and The Brave One being fair at best. At the moment, it looks like a good chunk of my annual top-ten will be dominated by Westerns and Musicals. Go figure. This week, an easy one before the final two of the round. Name the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck! |

"...a Nazi who will meet a most unfortunate ending..."
Clever. I like it.
