A filum about soapy suburbia then?

Soapy?

Poltergeist?

That's what I would have said, given that it's written as a caption on one of the pictures at the bottom of the screen when I click on the link.

I don't think that would apply, no.

Yes, that's the one.

Shit!

Yeah!
Of course I found this out because of my deep knwledge of the horror film genre and not because of what Mactep saw, too!

Hmmm, I'm not sure I buy that. It would be easier to accept your "deep knwledge" (sic) if you actually had knowledge of how to spell "knowledge". [/gillianren]

Anyway, your turn.

a '60s comedy?

Very much!

I think it was used in more than one film then.

In that case, I don't know the other one.

Well, there was the comedy, and then there was that drama.

You tell me...

I got nuffin', but I do like a town that clearly signposts its Prüfstützpunkten.

Based on nothing other than the location being Berlin and the film being a 60's comedy, I'll offer (the original) Casino Royale as a guess.

I'm not sure I would describe Casino Royale as a "glorious comedy" and I suspect the Berlin scenes were shot on a studio lot in the UK but it is better than any guess I have.

Certainly correct on that first point, and I suspect correct on the second one also.

On digging round the area, it is just in West Berlin, is it a Cold War comedy? Is there such a thing? Set in an office block?

There is too much butter on those trays.

Doesn't help me; if you know it you should probably just sing out.

It's Prüfstützpunkte, if you please. And the film is not Casino Royale.

The film also had a prominent, and utterly hilarious scene at the Brandenburg Gate.
The building shown hasn't only seen better times - in those times, it served exactly the same function as it does in the film.

Of course it is. I knew I would be wrong, just not the particular type of wrongness.
