Not that it’s actually needed for the scene, but inquiring minds wanna know.
Near the beginning of the movie a car driven by a man named Szell stalls, and an already highly POed motorist (Rosenbaum, whose car repairs hadn’t gone according to plan) starts yelling for him to get moving. When Rosenbaum calls him a ‘schmuck,’ it really gets heated because Szell realizes that he’s dealing with one of those GD Jews that his people had tried to eliminate. Rosenbaum, hearing him talk back in German, is even more incensed that the person stalling him is a German. They trade exchanges back and forth, but Szell is speaking German. I did catch Juden (or was it Yehudi–I’ve already deleted it) and Scheiss, so I suspect there was some cursing.
Anyone??? I meant to snatch a snip of it, but deleted it too soon. Probably available streaming somewhere.
Trivia note on the odd chance that anyone doesn’t already know this: The actor playing Szell was a) a survivor of the Hindenburg disaster, and b) a person of interest in a suspected sabotage event to cause the disaster.
Thanks. A bit underwhelmed at what was actually being said. I thought it was going to be something really bad. Kinda reminds me of in “Requiem for a Heavyweight” when Mickey Rooney is so enraged at Jackie Gleason that he goes nuclear and calls him a. . . “Fink!” Or when the TV repairman tells Archie (in Yiddish), something like May you live in a house with a thousand rooms, and get a stomachache in each room. Then he tells Archie “You’ll never know [what I just said], but believe me. . . I got even!”
