      Marco Venieri: Why do they call you Werner?

      Werner: Sit down, please. Well, because... because my name is Werner. Why?

      Marco Venieri: Well, because Werner is a German name.

      Werner: I... I know. During the war, eh? During the war, a German, a certain Herbert... uh... a certain Herbert helped my father to escape from the concentration camp the day before his execution. So, in memory of this effort, my father named me Werner.

      Marco Venieri: [pause] It seems like they should have called you Herbert.

      Werner: Well, because my... my mother didn't like the name Herbert. And my father, who was just back from the war, didn't want another war with my mother. He must have said "Werner? Okay, Werner. As long as it's German."

    This is no one's shining moment
    I think everyone involved with this film used it as a means to get a paid vacation out of the producers. My favorite thing about this film is Robert Duvall's wig-which looks like it is sewn together out of a paint brush (Sonny Crockett's dad meets Sherwin Williams).
