Part 7 - Season 2 Premiere
Hey, metalin, I don?t mind. You beat me to it!
My favourite group of bookends used to be the mailbox/donut shop/jail (Part 4)
but this one might be taking its place for several reasons:
- Largest production at an exterior location + excellent musical score
- Most poignant & sensible scene featuring a connection with Indy?s past ("Curse of the Jackal" is a contender.)
- 20 secs. of ?new? footage I had never seen before! ("Scandal" Part 2 opening. Thanks to
fommes!)
- On-screen reference to my favourite band, The Who, that I had never noticed until a few weeks ago.
(A small prize awaits the 1st person to spot it.)
Putting this one together proved to be the biggest challenge so far since the ?Scandal? bookends were
compiled from 3 different sources (and I couldn?t have completed it without
fommes):
- Original English ?Scandal of 1920? (video)
- French dubbed ?Scandal of 1920? (video & audio)
- English w/Dutch subtitles ?New York, June 1920? & ?New York, July 1920? (video & audio)
(Unfortunately, I had to drop a shot from fommes? copy of the 2-parter. I?ll explain later...
and just realized that I have a clean, uncorrupted Scandal-Part 1-closer in English without
subtitles but it's too late now. I'll fix it for the DVD.)
So here we go:

Manhattan, April 1993:
Season 2 starts with the 4th (and last) triple-header. Old Indy (George Hall) is out on the town!
First stop on his nocturnal NYC jaunt is an exhibit of photographs by Vladimir ?Belikov(?)? before
a slow taxi ride delivers him to Times Square for a live performance of George Gershwin?s famous
?Broadway Melody? at the Palace Theater. As feisty as usual, he contemplates life while setting
the facts straight in his attempt to humble every individual he encounters. Watch it until the very
end and enjoy 8 more minutes of Old Indy!
