Show Notes
This week, I'm reading the sixteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter takes place in The South Seas Club, like last chapter, and is great fun. Cliff wreaks absolute chaos on mob boss Eddie Valentine's club (crime doesn't pay, kids!). The full clip is here. The novelization adds a few interesting tidbits that I suspect were artistic license, like the first person that Cliff runs into when he is on the waiter's cart being Margaret Dumont (who was in many Marx Brothers films as the straight woman to their gags). Here she is with Groucho in a clip from A Night at the Opera in a somewhat similar location, this also being a fancy restaurant.
Thanks for listening!
