Since we know the star... Woody Allen was working on a script about two New Yorkers who try to solve a murder when he got stuck. When blocked, Allen noticed a book on Russian History at his home. As the deadline was fast approaching for delivery of a contracted screenplay, Allen got inspired and decided to spoof the genre of Russian novel and history for this movie instead, putting the other script on the back-burner. As such, the other script was not finished until later, but it eventually became Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993). The wheat scene with towards the end of the film is a direct visual parody of Ingmar Bergman's classic Persona (1966). The juxtaposition of faces is an homage to Bergman's trademark shots. The philosophical "babble" between the characters (e.g. "subjectivity is objective") actually comes from the writing of Russian philosophers G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky, as does the title of this film. The star/director has said that this film was "my funniest picture to that time." I disagree. I can think of at least two funnier ones. In an interview with 'Esquire' magazine, the star once said of the making of this movie: "When good weather was needed, it rained. When rain was needed, it was sunny. The cameraman was Belgian, his crew French. The underlings were Hungarian, the extras were Russian. I speak only English - and not really that well. Each shot was chaos. By the time my directions were translated, what should have been a battle scene ended up as a dance marathon. In scenes where [my co-star] and I were supposed to stroll as lovers, Budapest suffered its worst weather in twenty-five years". The film began development at Fox and was intended to be their one of their big Christmas 1974 releases. Eventually, it went into turnaround to United Artists due to their relationship with the star, who wouldn't make a film for Fox for almost thirty years. George

Right church, wrong pew. George

No idea, though both of you obviously know what's going on. On a separate note, has anyone "seen" Human, lately? George

B was a Dr. Phibes movie. I think the first one was called "The Abominable Dr. Phibes." I actually remember seeing it in a theater with a high school buddy (he was into horror flicks). George

I don't know. Maybe it's because I never watched "Lost," but I have no idea what you're talking about. George

"Professor Wexler" seems vaguely familiar, but nothing really jumps out, yet. George

Well, Jonathan Harris (and Gary Oldman) played DOCTOR Smith, but that was Zachary Smith, not Jefferson. Nothing else really come to mind, yet. George

Pretty cool. Not my usual genre, but nice arranging. George

Fine. Be that way. George

Only two actors who've played Wyatt Earp come to mind (although I'm sure there a many). My first guess is Kevin Costner George

Pierce Brosnan was correct. My next round would have included Remington Steele and James Bond. George

Battlefield Earth is correct. Thank God they never made the sequel. George

Cult leader, perhaps? George
