Twice in the course of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, its amusingly woebegone protagonist, Peter Bretter (Jason Segel, who also wrote the screenplay) appears stark naked, his frontalia fully, if briefly, on view.

"It's an undeniable Mann Act violation," says Judd Burstein, an attorney whose history with Spitzer dates back to their facing off on opposite sides of the 1992 Gambino "mob tax" case...
