I happened to notice that in
VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET,
Jerry Lewis, in historical costume, has trouble sitting in a chair because of his sword, in a gag that recurs some years later in the
Coen Brothers film HAIL,
CAESAR!, in which
George Clooney, in historical costume, has trouble sitting in a chair because of his sword. Coincidence, you say? That is as may be! But in a later scene in the latter film, Clooney mentions
Norman Taurog. And who is Norman Taurog? Only the director of VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET.
I don't "blog" anymore but what do you want me to do with my life? I'm serious, tell me.
