Vic-

I can't see the Laurel & Hardy picture. Is it just me or is something awry?

So many things conjured up in this post...your caption evoking the Kennedys, our friend Klaus, Mr. Herzog, futility, delirium, and considering the location, the thought that the properties director must have had some good choices for the hat.

... and such an image too. There are other pictures that show the hat worn, but I couldn't turn away from this one.

Thanks for that great video link Joao. Had to watch it a few times to make sure I didn't see my grandpa, as he was bronc riding on the rodeo circuit in those days. Frank

Yes, I was thinking that some of the older guys would have been around in the good old days. There can't be a lot of footage that's survived.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Have you checked this one too?

That's a film that has stayed in my mind over the years as a kind of definitive image of, as you describe it, futility and delirium. Everything about it is extraordinary. In the documentary of the making of it, there's a scene where the Indians, who were helping, come to Herzog and politely offer to do away with Mr. Kinski, who they thought was obviously insane.
