High Anxiety

[rich]

this maybe all coincidence but Mel Brook's movie High Anxiety

a very funny movie about a shrink in SF who gets involved with a woman
who's father she fears is being held captive in a loony bin against
his will.

Mel Brook's character is named Thorndyke, the same name of the one of
the dudes Clancy meets up with after she introduces Boris to Doc. This
is the same chapter with the investigation of the photo of the
shooting at the Channel View Estates parlor.

Thorndyke in the movie High Anxiety (he's afraid of heights) is framed
for the shooting murder in a crowded hotel lobby but they discover a
photo of the scene which is blown up and shown to Thorndyke--he is
watching himself in the photo freaking out, in distress,  in a
descending glass walled elevator (he's not the killer, he's been set
up--I've been to that hotel near the Embarcadero--its freaking
high-the inside is all open)
In the chapter I'm talking about Doc is thinking about viewing himself
inside, knocked unconscious, in distress, in the blown up photo while
the shooting goes down

funny the little coincidences one conjures.

p.s. harvey korman is side-splitting funny in High Anxiety
