Hank (1965)
I remember some of the medical school episode
I remember watching the show as a young teen. Its vague, but I remember him in a medical school class episode. It seems there was also a professor that was supportive of his attending class, though I don't remember if he knew Hank was not enrolled.
Although I only saw a few episodes it had quite an impact on encouraging me toward college. As a teen without much in the way of funding, I tried Hanks method of attending college classes by audit,less the fake mustache. I attended at least 15 classes just to learn the material.(audit without paying used to be pretty easy in the 70s). Professors were always willing to read my papers and let me test. I later earned my BS and graduate degree, and work in emergency medical research and nanotechnology, in part thanks to Hanks example. Thanks Hank!
De Düva: The Dove (1968)
funniest movie short I ever saw
Seen in the fall of 1969 at a downtown Pittsburgh theater, it continues to be the funniest movie short I ever saw. Like the writer in the post above, no one knew what to expect. I had read a review of the film prior to attending. Having a hint of what to expect my friends and I began laughing early in the run, to the bemused confusion of the audience. Soon others began to understanding snippets of the fake Swedish dialog, causing trickles of laughter. By the end of the film the entire audience was howling.
I do remember the film that followed "Last Summer" with Barbara Hershey but it didn't come close to De Duva for entertainment.
The last time I checked,about 20 years ago, the University of Pittsburgh library had a copy. I'm not sure if its still there but would very much like to buy a reasonably priced CD or VHS copy.
