Tom Wolper informs me that the "Rue Brittania" storyline won't be on the third volume of Rocky & Bullwinkle DVDs since it's already on the second. So ignore what I said about that. In fact, while you're at it, ignore what I say about everything.
Vince Waldron informs me that the Aero Theater out in Santa Monica is running a Billy Wilder series and will be screening Ace in the Hole on August 25. It's all part of the American Cinematheque project, which screens classic films there and at the Egyptian in Hollywood, and which I keep forgetting to keep an eye on. Last July 25, they ran 1776, followed by a panel discussion with William Daniels, Ken Howard and the film's director, Peter Hunt. I would have liked to be there for it but I only found out about it just now when I set up the link to their calendar. In a few weeks, both theaters are presenting Terry Gilliam's movie, Brazil, and they're running the European cut, which is ten minutes longer than the version released in this country.
