Yesterday, popcorn in hand, eager to see the Oscar-nominated "Monsieur Lazhar" (tho' it's a 2011 film, it just came to our theaters), I settled into a comfortable position in my cinema seat -- only to almost jump out of it when something I had not heard for years, and certainly never expected to hear here, played over the opening credits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIZZHadHG1o.
If this has been posted before, I apologize; I've been extremely busy, and haven't been as regular a visitor as I'd like. But if not, I thought my fellow Wellesnetters would get a kick out of it, while celebrating yet another example of Welles's enduring power.

Re: Old song in young film
Wow, I totally missed that when I saw the film about two weeks ago!
As to MONSIEUR LAZHAR itself, I thought it was a brilliant film, the kind that could be easily ruined by taking the wrong approach (something I fear would happen if it ever gets an American remake).
