...rich and fashionable; in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Born Horst P. Horst, he infused his dramatic, stylized shots of such glitterati as Marlene Dietrich, Coco Chanel and Andy Warhol with ashtrays and other everyday details, assuring worried fashion editors that "my best pictures always have a little mess...
...when, at 2:28 a.m., he saw the 44-ft.-tall tower and "a little flinch in the sky." While he looked, "the whole thing came down." As it toppled, the scores of kids who were on it scrambled. The lucky ones escaped. The rest were entombed in a mess of logs and wires.

The grandmother took action after seeing the three discuss their lifestyle on an MTV program...
...most serious crisis in the movie occurs not when they are dealing with real Nazis or are otherwise close to disaster, but when they explicitly ask if God exists. Internal conflicts between the pseudo-Nazis, the newly converted Communists, and the older religious leaders result in one big mess that none of them can resolve, except perhaps the village fool. Indeed, it is the fool, named Shlomo, who poses the question of the movie: "The question is not whether God exists. The question is whether we exist...
