***I see Casablanca' status is similar to one of "Diamond Hand"
in Russia. "Flowers for kids, icecream for woman". And probably
DH is as "easy" to find in Philly as Casablanca in Moscow...

Not quite so. The DH is more than easy. The question is - what would petew do with it?

I am surprised about the Casablanca lack availability in Moscow, but perhaps I should not be.

***Darn, I'm a card-carrying member of three rentals, each claiming
to have 3000 to 4000 films available. Two of these never had it,
third had some time ago, but it was stolen. Well well well, I went
to shops trying to buy it... nothing in there...

Numbers can be funny. A typical average size shopping mall video store here would have several thousand titles, but as petew noticed before - most of them junk. It is not the matter of severa thousands, it is a matter of the *right* several thousands.

***Also thank you for revealing the true origin of an old (soviet
times) anecdote. I thought it was Russian. Conversation in London:
- Which watch?
- Ten watch.
- Such much?
- To whom how...
- MGIMO?
- Don't say, don't say...

***MGIMO is a diplomatic college in Moscow fyi.

I always thought it was MIMO. Things changed?

Don'say, don't say...

In our regional, Peter, version the final line was: "Ask!" (Sprashivaesch!)
