Re: August 25th

Hi John - does this have to do with the Monte Carlo movie?

Wasn't Lee going to break the bank with "25" as his lucky number?

Re: August 25th

Yes, that's it. In an early scene in the movie, Lee and Charlie are at the casino. Lee wants to "break the bank" by betting #25, and he rattles off several reasons for picking that number, including the facts that he is 25 years old, and the date is August 25th.

Re: August 25th

Thanks, John. Monte Carlo is pretty high on my list even though it's generally not considered one of Oland's best. The scene with the waffles is hysterical and the bits with the broken down car and Lee's poor translation are funny also.
