DeleteRegarding the movie The Day of The Jackal, some of you might recall the the actor was Edward Fox and the producer was John Woolf. All in the animal family ;)
ReplyDeleteKishore : You are a Jack-of all trade to discern that Woolf was the producer and Fox was the producer of the movie, The Day of The Jackal ! Clever as a fox and you have a vulpine appetite for such trivia !!
ReplyDeleteDr.Satyen Nabar: Many happy snruter of your birthday. May God bless you with a long life with peace and happiness.
Sorry Kishore , I got foxed above ! Fox as an actor and not the producer.
