Hidden Moments of Genius


Those things that are hilarious but otherwise not so noticeable to the average viewer:

+At 1:53:55 -- the scene where Tom calls Linnea to invite her to the Exit/In.
Linnea is staring at the camera and just as Tom tells her who it is, you hear the cuckoo clock go off in the background.

+At the racetrace -- One car has Haven Hamilton's elaborate logo on the hood while another has "Tommy Brown" just stenciled in a small area.
+Haven handing Tommy some watermelon.

+ When Barbara Jean is in the hospital, on her bedside table is a small framed photo of Haven. As if sending multiple flower bouquets in the shape of his "HH" logo weren't enough.

+ The characterture drawing Kenny taped to the outside of his violin case. He actually had that drawn out at Opryland.

+ When Albuquerque wakes up in the back of the car -- Tricycle Man and drives by a gas station where the Hal Philip Walker van is filling up and checking under the hood.

Others??

Haven about Connie White: "A wonderful singer ... in her own way."

Haven about Julie Christie: "I was talkin' about The Christy Minstrels just this morning and now we have Julie Christie here."

Connie White (not believing that Julie Christie is really an Academy Award winning actress) to Haven Hamilton: "Oh, come on. She can't even comb her hair."

Haven to the crowd: "They can't do this to us here in Nashville" (after they already have).

Hi Matt: I love these types of informative threads that bring so many bright minds together. I always have their insight tucked away so when I see the film again, it is a much richer experience than before. Thank you to all the great posters who share their experiences.
