id you notice that the mailman is named Mr. Beasley, the same name as the mailman in the "Blondie" comic strip?
I didn't know that--in the films, Blondie's mailman always got knocked down before the titles ☺️
some more help:
3. the sale of the bible led to big changes for the minister of the church

3. 70's sit com; bible was bought at a church auction
7. 50's classic sit com; one character often broke the 4th wall, but in this episode, 3 actors abandon character
13. The blouse had the Eiffel tower on the front, 'oooh la la' on the back
14. Lead works for them...briefly (lots of brief jobs..)
15. Inside the cannister was murky water and mysterious 'stuff'

meet David Dellinger two days after the Feds said Abbie Hoffman committed suicide. I was having to stay at a hotel for a business conference the following day.
Thanks for sharing! Dellinger's role got shorted in the film...he was actually the one that started reading the names of the victims in Vietnam, but he was stopped, and Hayden took over...in the film, Hayden gets the big finish solo.

The Trial of the Chicago 7--Since I have only seen one of the Oscar nominated films (Mank), I thought I'd try another. Well....I thought it was more interesting as a inner look at how the defendants interacted away from the courtroom. The case itself would seem interesting enough without Hollywoodizing it...and yet some of the big dramatic moments were altered--the release of Bobby Seale didn't happen immediately after he was bound and gagged...evidently he had to sit that way for days...were these just days of outrage by the attorneys? And I'm a bit put off by the addition of a wily female agent invented for...what purpose? Just to add a female role? To illustrate how some poor slob can be duped by a pretty face? Whatever...The performances were good, and I was surprised by Sacha Baron Cohen's Abbie Hoffman (I normally write him off as the Borat/Bruno flake), but the academy overlooked Frank Langella's convincing portrayal of the judge...tyrannical and not playing with a full deck. Eddie Redmayne is top billed, but honestly, the Tom Hayden character is the least interesting in the bunch. I'd say it's a good film, but I wouldn't call it great (funny...I thought the same of Mank..)
