-------
[1] He graduated from the Institut des Hautes etudes Cinmatographiques
(Insitute of Advanced Cinematographic Studies) and made his debut as the
cinematographer and co-director of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's Oscar winning
documentary Le Monde du silence (The Silent World).
When his second solo feature was screened in Cleveland in 1959 its
manager, Nico Jacobellis, got cited for obscenity and the State of Ohio
used the obscenity law to ban the film. Nico Jacobellis fought the case
all the way to the Supreme Court where the conviction was reversed. The
case became famous for Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's obiter
dictum, "I shall not here today attempt further to define
(obscenity)...But I know it when I see it." Who is this director?
## Louis Malle
[2] The public outcry that followed Jesse James (1939) *ing Henry Fonda
resulted in which now familiar disclaimer gracing the screen?
## "No animals were harmed in the making of this motion picture." A horse
died during filming and there was hazzar outcry. Only one person got this
question. Popular answer was "Any resemblance to actual persons, living or
dead, is purely coincidental" which is due to Rasputin and The Empress
(1932) *ing {John, Lionel, Ethel} Barrymores.

"When seen today, Rasputin and The Empress seems rather choppy in spots,
with isolated lines of dialogue and sometimes whole scenes completely
missing. This is due to a million-dollar lawsuit brought against MGM by
Prince Yossoupoff, the man who really engineered Rasputin's assassination.
The Prince wasn't offended by being depicted as a murderer, but he was
distressed when MGM suggested that his wife had been raped by Rasputin. As
a result, the movie was withdrawn from distribution, and all prints were
later bowdlerized when released to television. Also as a result, all
future Hollywood films were obliged to carry the "Any resemblance to
actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental"
[3] Which movie's name is a Yiddish word for 'blessed' used mostly by
German Jews in recalling a beloved deceased. It features interviews with

---
Int. Uncle Bob's Pancake House - Morning

## Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992). Supposedly...
when Tarantino worked in a video store, he referred to the Louis Malle's
Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987) as "the reservoir film" because he couldn't
pronounce the title. He combined this with Sam Pechinpah's Straw Dogs
(1971) to produce the title "Reservoir Dogs".
[5] He was the executive producer of The Elephant Man (1980) and was
responsible for hiring director David Lynch and obtaining permission to
film in black and white. He deliberately left his name off the credits, as
he knew that people would get the wrong idea about the movie if they saw
his name on the film, given his fame as a satirist. One of the few people
(Rita Moreno, Barbara Streisand, etc) to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy,
and a Tony. Who is this mog?
## Mel Brooks. Mog was a reference to Mel's Space Balls (1987) and John
Candy's character Barfolemew 'Barf' the Mog's one-liner from the flick:
"I'm a mog: half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend"
