The White (Zombie) Visitation

[Henry]

Um, thanks for the oft-cited White Zombie passage (with which I readily reaquainted myself, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22White+Zombie%22+%22Gravity%27s+Rainbow%22, before my message) but how about White Zombie vis a vis The White Visitation?

"Of course, of course," sez Osbie, with a fluid passage of fingers and wrist 
based on the way Bela Lugosi handed a certain glass of doped wine to some 
fool of a juvenile lead in White Zombie, the first movie Osbie ever saw and 
in a sense the last, ranking on his All-Time List along with Son of 
Frankenstein, Freaks, Down to Rio and perhaps Dumbo,...."

Henry:
Did I miss this by inattention during the GRGR's and also not constantly 
consulting my (now boxed somewhere) Companion to GR during any of my reads 
of GR? I have just had a precursory look at "White Zombie," having recorded 
it from TCM; the jumpings off the cliff and the title of the movie put me in 
mind of GR's "The White Visitation." Common knowledge? Just me?
