two questions


Well actually it is hard to limit down to just two questions about the film because a lot of it was really random and didn't really make sense - i thought it was quite funny though.

1) This is probably quite obvious, but when Peter Sellers put his hand into the white icy bowl thing, and took it out covered in dark liquid, was that wine?

2) Also, what does Peter Sellers say to Claudine Longet in French?

1) That stuff was caviar (you hear someone mention it but it's quiet and fleeting) - when Sellers withdraws his hand and smells it he mutters 'Poo!' - this starts up my favorite extended gag in the movie, as handshakes ensue.

2) It's been a while, but was it 'Where is the Eiffel Tower'?

Hi there,

maybe you already got the answer. The dark thing in the bowl is caviar. Do not remember the saying in French.

Hey, thanks anyway Alex. Haha, i've kind-of forgotten what he said now anyway.

Hi. The first answer is caviar. When he pulls his hand out, sniffs it and says "poo"!
Not sure on second answer.
Cheers.

Fish Eggs. The payoff joke comes later when Sellers shakes hands with someone who then shakes hand with the General.
