America’s Best Cook

December 23rd, 2005 at 15:30 (1940s)

Here’s another movie that provides good entertainment around Christmas. And a movie that shows how hard it can be if you start with a little lie and fake to be America’s Best Cook although you can’t cook. Lucky if you know a Felix who hails from Budapest, Hungary, and who has a restaurant on 325 46th Street New York.

And this Felix provides you with new recipes to write your columns. Although I have my doubts that Felix is a really decent cook. He just throws some Paprika into an Irish Stew and proclaims it’s goulash now.

By the way, parts of this movie’s set are the same used for a famous movie with with a leopard in it. And guess who played the dog in the movie with the leopard?!

meatballs

Instead of the porterhouse steak our hero longs for he just get meatballs. So you know one thing already. The male protagonist of this movie is not a vegetarian.
The movie you can guess today for isn’t the best movie of all times. It has some funny scenes but a rather strange plot about an American woman married to an Austrian baron with lot of Nazis involved and Hitler invading country after country…as it turns out the baron is a nefarious Nazi spy who travels all over Europe with his American wife just before these countries are invaded. Which movie are we looking for?
