Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] puppet scenes in films


Another film with an excellent puppet star:   "You Can't Cheat an Honest 
Man," a very funny WC Fields vehicle with Edgar Bergen and his dummies Charlie 
McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd.   (Charlie evidently makes a cameo appearance in 
Albert Brooks new movie, "Finding Comedy in the Muslim World.")

And here are some interesting films where the puppetry may not be noticed but 
is in fact integral:   James Whale's "The Invisible Man" with Claude Rains; 
Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey"; the original "King Kong"; and even 
"Roger Rabbit."
