"Let's make him a Nazi!" "No, Nazis have been done to death. We need something ever more evil." "I know, we'll make him a Nazi *dentist*!"Chiphttp://tipsfromchip.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-32817399678023487922011-10-26T08:24:05.029-04:002011-10-26T08:24:05.029-04:00This is one of all-time favorite films containing,...This is one of all-time favorite films containing, in my opinion, the all-time best Dustin Hoffman performance.
