Did You Know?
| Trivia | The beginning of the action occurs in 1966 as mentioned at one point. It is also mentioned nobody can notice how fast time flies, so we don't know when the movie ends. However there is a hint: a Nazi official arrives towards the end. Since he has building models he must be an architect and since he settles in a suite he must be high ranking: it could be Albert Speer who died in 1981. Hence 15 years might have elapsed since the beginning of the movie. See more » |
| Goofs | At one point the movie/TV stars dog is referred to as "she." All Lassies were played by male dogs. In the context it's likely the characters would have known that. See more » |

Clearly the audience couldn't possibly be applauding my performance as Othello as I couldn't begin playing him because of all the noise. So they're applauding me as a famous person. Valentin was getting all the applause while this poor chap Othello was standing there, hoping they would shut up. See more » |
