I witness to having seen that line in that German lexicon, which can also
be found at the Oulu Town Library where I worked as librarian for 3 years.

However, it might not be easy to find that movie. When I asked the sage
John Krafft about it long ago, he had heard of no such film. You still
haven't, John? 

Many of you may remember the band Humble Pie. But how many of you still
recall that there once was a band called Geordie?

P.S. The ghostly rhetoric figure I mentioned in my message on Dickinson
and Pynchon is "prosopopoeia", not
               "prosopopeia",
got it?
