I love that part! I think I’ve seen an actual 30s movie where that is seriously treated as part of the plot, where even criminals are real Americans when it comes to fighting Nazis.

Hey, not only is Paul Sorvino in the movie, he’s got arguably the best line. You know the one…where his gangster character discovers the guy he’s been working for is a Nazi and he turns on him saying “I may not make an honest buck, but I am 100% American!”

Sorry, the trailer isn’t widescreen. The movie itself is, as I noted in the second paragraph.

“The only special feature is the original trailer, which has that charming fuzzy “we didn’t remaster this part” quality. It’s also not widescreen.”

It’s Sunday and I’m a little slow today. Are you saying the trailer isn’t wide screen or that the main feature isn’t wide screen? If it’s the latter then that kind of sucks.

I think this movie is highly underrated. I show the big dirigible fight scene to my comic history class every semester.
I might still have the special you mention on VHS. If I do, I’ll do a DVD transfer tout de suite!
