My favorite movie of all time. Everyone should see it at least three times!

I have. Once in a theatre in Palo Alto when it came out. It had to be screened over three days. I think it may have first been serialized on German TV. The second two times I saw it on videos I rented from Menlo Park--a shop called Videoscope. It's about sixteen hours long. Get a case of Coopers Sparkling Ale and keep it close by as you watch Hans Biberkopf tromp through the Weimar Republic. Great flick and a well written book--there are two others in the triolgy about those German times. Doeblin was one of those anarchists influenced by Catholic upbringings.
