I'll leave you for the night on an upbeat note! Here's the best scene of 2018: the sequence in Guy Maddin's The Green Fog in which a 'stache-less Chuck Norris sits in for the stretch of Vertigo where Scottie deals with the "death" of "Madeleine" https://t.co/ZkwlpF1tm7— Matt Prigge (@mattprigge) January 28, 2019

Mark McKinney as Chester Kent in The Saddest Music in the World looks totally like Preston Sturges.

And Isabella Rossellini's performance seems to be channelling both her mom and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.

Every one of these instrumentalists was thrilled to be a part of Maddin's delightful jape.

In just the nick of time Maria's scenes are completed, and she is duly whisked away to the aeroporto.

Watching this carefully keep seeing things I want to assume are references to other films:when Roderick/Ross McMillan shows Fyodor/David Fox the photo of his wife reminds me a scene in The Shop Around the Corner, when Felix Bressart recognizes Margaret Sullavan and avoids telling Henry Fonda, or when Fyodor makes his speech before his contest performance he says "raging ocean" just like Jack Benny saying "outrageous fortune" in To Be or Not to Be.
