I didn't see this movie, so I'll have to ATE.

If they get me past this one, then I'm going for $250,000 because I got "The Bicycle Thief" one correct. (You learn so much while playing Tangredi's movie games. "The Bicycle Thief" got a nice mention in one of his recent movie games, and I did happen to read up on that film.)

I still contend that this movie didn't deserve its Oscar, but I've seen it, and remember the line.

I was pretty sure it was Fourier, but not positive. Unfortunately, I don't think ATA or ATE would help, so I'd probably DD here, and if it wasn't Fourier, go with Euler....not that I'd have needed to use the second half of that DD, but still.

And I'd have $100,000, and be going for $250K with 2 lifelines left. I absolutely LOVE this movie, and if you go back to my "5ooth DVD thread, you'll see it there. Specifically, he's putting up movie posters, for Rita Hayworth in "Gilda".
