Yet it must be said that his liveliest attentions in The Serpent's Egg are lavished on the marvelous Berlin city block, circa 1923, that Producer Dino De Laurentiis provided him for this picture.

...well, Mr. and Ms. Codfish, you can cat my additives for me. But, alas, upon sober reflection, I guess that in the balance, and for the moment, at least, I'm sold on Feedback in its present format. After all--it is good for something: as in their infinite wisdom the Cods have chosen to leave the backside blank, I was able to type this article on it.
