Norman's Coat

He sells a lot of things...

Bonus points if you can identify everything!
(which shouldn't be too hard, since I left out a lot of things I could have included)

Deleted Scene From A Seventy-Four-Year-Old Film


One of the blogs I follow posted a story about how a Marx Brothers fan just discovered an unedited version of "A Night At the Opera" in Hungary, of all places. The originating story can be found here. This is pretty impressive considering a) The censorship board was particularly harsh back then, especially when it came to subjects relating to political hot-zones (ie. Italy), and b) Hungary wasn't exactly that hip to modern-at-the-time cinema, but mostly c) film wasn't treated with half the care it is now. That we even have prints of the current versions of these old movies is a miracle in itself. Discovering a more complete version is akin to finding out your parents never sold your now-priceless comic collection, or something.

Anyway, I made a tribute in comic form.
