<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Hi, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies and movie reminiscences. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; They even had a wall of RA-17s in the last Bond Movie - 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; couldn't believe 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; my eyes. Thanks to Roger for the explanation. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Now - In what movie starring Peter Sellers (In 3 roles) did 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; an R-390(A) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; assist in bringing the end of the world ? - Bryce 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; His &quot;Fu Manchu&quot; flick, &quot;The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu&quot;, of 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; course. But are you sure it was an &quot;A&quot;? And He only played two 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; roles (Nayland Smith and Fu Manchu) in the flick. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; The cottage-balloon, with the imperturbable butler as pilot and 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; navigator, was one of the best parts of the flick. But, then, so 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; was every other part of the flick. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I've got to see this. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;The only 3-role Sellers I am aware of is &quot;Doctor Strangelove&quot;, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;and I don't remember seeing an R-390A, although one would be 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;right at home. Got to watch it again soon; it's on my 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;short-list of all-time favorites. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;In Strangelove, the instrument that helped destroy the world 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;does not exist in reality and was absolutely _not_ an R-390A. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;How many of you have searched LOGSA for a manual for it? :-) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;What other movie contains a device with the same made-up name? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I know, too easy or too hard, depending on your tastes. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;&quot;Whoa!&quot;
