Indeed! The fastidious 20 minute non-verbal heist scene in his 1955 Les Hommes chez Rififi (watch for creative use of umbrella) was motivated by Dassin’s not knowing French! I used it for a psycholinguistic experiment that needed a silent sequence

My tired 15 yo (and friend) after 83 yo Macca exhausted everyone with his exhaustive repertoire at Coors Field last week: this song says it’s the end! No dear the song says it’s getting very NEAR the end. Three more encores to come!

Nope. It’s an act. He did the same glaring, head shaking routine after the Live and Let Die pyro in Denver, 4 days after ABQ. I truly thought he had injured his ears. He was in fact ok but my 3 chihuahuas walking past Coors Field with my husband at the moment the boom boom started—total terror

Often wondered: the Latin word for hedgehog is ericius, so how did it become IGEL in German? English borrowed French hérisson as URCHIN, whence street urchin (hedgehog of the street) 🦔 🏘️ and sea urchin (hedgehog of the sea) 🦔🌊
