Dancing Scene - Chain of Fools


That scene alone made the movie for me...the second best scene was the blind dude driving.

It was one of my favorites. The camera adored him.

Here's a quote from vanityfair:
"The first day of shooting, Robinson thought River was fine—but when he saw him in dailies, he was much more impressed. “He makes very quirky choices that really come alive on film,” the director said."

I don't though pay money to read any of those supposed tell-alls.

Here's another inmdb thread about it:

The whole movie is awesome and I get a kick out of some of the people on here who say it sucks.

I loved the dancing scene, but the blind guy driving seemed dumb and pointless. No way he would have been able to drive even that well on a moment's notice, and there was huge likelihood he would destroy the car before he could help rescue anyone. As it turned out, the car was not needed.

OTOH, I loved pretty much all the moments between the Redford and Kingsley characters. Even the initial scene where one fatefully sends the other out for pizza using a magic trick, and the magic trick being deliberately used to cinch the recognition when they meet again.
