Worst fake nose (anti-Semitic division):
Alec Guinness as Fagin in David Lean’s otherwise terrific adaptation of Oliver Twist (1948)

The great Souleymane Cissé has died at age 84.
I screened his 1987 masterpiece Yeelen at Brooks Museum in Oct. 92 as part of a series of New African Cinema.
I still have this gorgeous poster on my wall.
