"Are you going anywhere for Christmas?", "Yes, I think I will spend a few days in my tent in Italy"

Given Trump's now president, Icke seems quite a moderate voice of reason

During the making of Casablanca, they couldn't get a full size plane into the studio for the final scene....so they built a half-scale model and hired every midget in Hollywood to run around underneath.
