Not only is Arkin funny in that, he’s touching too. A very great actor! His first movie role.
Some of Arkin’s best lines:
“Ve Are, Ov Course, Nor-weegans”
“This is an island with no boats?”
“Be Good behaved, Mr. Vitteker Valt, or he will shoot you into little pieces”
“Egermency! Everybody to get from street!”
(after surviving being shot at with an AK47) “Promise me you won’t do that no more.”
and of course, the aforementioned WW3 quote!
I thought his first movie role was in Catch-22?
