    I recently saw this movie on Ovation and I love it too death, hubby promises to get the dvd for me. I read that a part was cut out so it could show in the US, luckily I was able to find the clip on YouTube. I wonder what would have happened if they had just shown it. Here it is:

    omg!!! we saw this movie about 4 years ago...
    the local "arts" board brought it to a venue
    in the local national park service headquarters....

    it was a very interesting film to say the least

    every now and again i can hear that incessant whistle......

    MrsJones, I distinctly remember seeing the clip you posted as the opening segment to The Triplets of Belleville. I know it's on the DVD, right up front. Maybe the Ovation folks are just shy

    Not me

    But did you notice the little politically correct touch – Josephine Baker escaped the crazed hordes in the nick of time, while Fred Astaire was ... oops, spoiler...
