: : Hi:
: : Just curious here...We all know the obvious direct film influences on the Indy movies (ie: Casablanca, Lost Horizon etc...) but has anyone else just "happened" upon some things that were obvious?
: : I ask this because last night I was watching `Casino Royale' and a scene occurred which was an obvious inspiration for the opening dance number in `Temple of Doom.' So, as it stands I've noticed the following:
: : 1) Casino Royale - see above.
: : 2) North by Northwest - influences too many to note, but of special mention, a scene IDENTICAL in composition to `Last Crusade' where Indy meets Donovan in his apartment.

: : Any more?
: : Cheers,

: Yes, I noticed the same thing about Casino Royale! (and posted it here about two months ago.) I'll have to watch N by NW again, though.

I knew there was another one but I couldn't remember it...I was watching a movie on AMC (I love the old movies on AMC) called "Summertime" with Katherine Hepburn. Anyway, there is a scene that (I believe) takes place in the piazza in front of San Barnaba, the Church/Library in Last Crusade.

Cheers,
Abner
