Subject: Movie References in 11/17 Episode (Was Re: JokeRight?)

Actually, I thought it was a reference to ``Wages of Fear'', which has a scene of Yves Montand near the end happily driving along in a truck weaving all over the highway as if dancing. One other possible movie reference was the scene of Leland laughing and being misinterpreted by Cooper as crying. There is a scene in a Charlie Chaplin silent short about a drunk, in which the drunk finds a letter from his wife saying that she's leaving. We first see him from the back with his shoulders heaving and we don't know if he's laughing or crying. (Actually, he's shaking a cocktail!) -30- Bob
