somewhere in france, patent medicine salesman walter slezak turns away his inept, and soft - hearted, assistant danny kaye. kaye, hungry and thirsty, wanders into a small village where he hopes to beg some food. the corrupt town counselors of the village, who have been warned of a surprise visit from the inspector general, mistakenly take kaye for the inspector general in disguise. they are soon wining and dining him and trying to find a way to get rid of him. meantime, kaye learns from serving girl barbara bates about the corrupt practices of the counsel and determines to thwart them .
in gogol' s original, the fake inspector capitalizes on the villagers' error by living it up and seducing local maidens; in the film, however, kaye remains pure of heart and really just wants to worm his way out of the situation. walter slezak shines in support as georgi' s treacherous old boss yakov (purveyor of a fake remedy called
yakov' s golden elixir
), who tries to blackmail the local officials before the real inspector general arrives on the scene. adding to the fun are barbara bates as kaye' s true love, gene lockhart as the town mayor and elsa lanchester as the mayor' s wife, who falls in love with georgi .

in a country where impunity is the rule for human rights violations, it is crucial that all sectors of society—ranging from ngos to public officials—collaborate with the justice system to improve accountability for these crimes. rather than punishing those who have fulfilled their legal and civil duty, the inspector - general’s office should direct its efforts at sanctioning public servants who fail to report or assist in the investigation of alleged human rights violations .

the 1959 film the five pennies, co - produced by paramount pictures and dena productions, was a semibiographical movie about the jazz trumpet player red nichols. danny kaye starred as nichols. as in many previous films for kaye, sylvia fine wrote several musical numbers: “follow the leader, ” “goodnight sleep tight, ” “lullaby in ragtime, ” and “the five pennies. ” the most famous number from the film was an adaptation fine wrote of “when the saints go marching in” that danny kaye and louis armstrong performed .

third, representative cepeda was legally obligated to submit the ex - paramilitaries’ statements to the attorney general’s office. article 67 of the criminal procedural code provides that public servants who become aware of the commission of a crime are obligated to “immediately report the event to the competent authority. ” representative cepeda would have been in breach of this legal obligation had he failed to provide prosecutors with the ex - paramilitaries’ statements, which allege multiple serious crimes, including the formation of paramilitary groups and killings. indeed, by failing to report the statements, he could have come under investigation by the inspector - general’s office, which according to article 278 of the constitution, should remove from office public servants who act with “manifest negligence” in “denouncing criminal acts that they become aware of as a result of exercising their posts. ”
langley’s investment in ben affleck, and vice versa, paid handsome dividends with the hugely popular, if factually challenged, 2012 film argo, directed by affleck, who also starred as the cia makeup artist tony mendez. based on a 2007 wired article by joshuah bearman, argo told the [ sort of ] true story of how the cia rescued several american hostages in tehran, with the help of mendez, who set up a fake hollywood production company and was pretending to shoot a science - fiction fantasy film in iran. according to richard klein, a consultant who helps connect hollywood studios with the cia and other government agencies, argo was the first movie to get permission to film inside langley headquarters in fifteen years .

a thief, pursued by an old friend from the neighborhood, evades the cops and the ira. brendan gleeson is fantastic as the eponymous character; he' s both awkward and wily, not looking the part of the thief but pulling it off believably. the rest of the supporting cast supports gleeson admirably, but even jon voight doesn' t deliver a stand - out performance. the story is fairly basic - - a crime drama in which the criminal cleverly eludes his pursuers - - and i can' t say that by the end of the film i cared about the characters. the film is so evenly presented that i wondered what it was saying. what is unique about this criminal that we haven' t seen before besides his physique (compare gleeson to george clooney' s danny ocean)? overall, there' s not a lot to feel strongly about in this film except gleeson' s superb performance .
of course i have to chime in here — kaye is my long - time favorite comedian. check out my stash of kaye memorabilia in my closet and you’ll understand! i think “the inspector general” is a great movie, as rhs says because of a top - notch supporting cast, lush production values, classic comedy routines and a liberal dose of romance. kaye’s great in the movie, with a really good acting job and quite charming and vulnerable .

a foia request about the film filed by judicial watch, a conservative watchdog group, turned up a series of emails between the filmmakers and langley that further demonstrated how eager the cia was to support the project. on june 7, 2011, cia spokesperson marie e. harf argued that both the agency and pentagon should back the boal / bigelow film over competing projects. “i know we don’t pick favorites but it makes sense to get behind a winning horse, ” she wrote. “mark and kathryn’s movie is going to be the first and the biggest. it’s got the most money behind it, and two oscar winners on board. ”
if the conceit of an inspector calls is familiar, though, the execution is more unusual. priestley began writing plays in the early thirties, after a successful career as a novelist and essayist: his book the good companions (1929) won the james tait black memorial prize, became a bestseller, and largely freed priestley from financial worries thereafter .

“this is absolute madness, ambassador, ” president merkin muffley says in the film, after being told about the soviets’ automated retaliatory system. “why should you build such a thing? ” fifty years later, that question remains unanswered, and “strangelove” seems all the more brilliant, bleak, and terrifyingly on the mark .
this film is good entertainment in a civilized society. consider the time it was made - some 60 years ago. at the time the baby boomers were being born and there was demand for everything. happy times. today, this film could not and would not be made. firstly, there is no actor, who could do the tricks done by danny kaye. secondly, the society has become non - functional - just consider hurricane kathrina, transfer of production to china, high foreign debt, tv ads of pharmaceutical or insurance companies etc. if i am not mistaken, too many of us are involved in activities we dislike. but on the other hand, so many of us want to live in a civilized society that the change will come. and this film will again be appreciated as what it is - good entertainment .

in the end, the cia’s energetic cooperation with boal and bigelow paid off enormously, with zero dark thirty serving as the most effective piece of propaganda for the agency’s torture program since 24. the film made the case that bin laden’s capture would not have been possible without information that was extracted under torture. the filmmakers might have taken great pains to portray the smallest details of bin laden’s compound accurately. but on this fundamental issue, they blatantly violated the truth .

the most unlikely and absurd plot element in “strangelove” is the existence of a soviet “doomsday machine. ” the device would trigger itself, automatically, if the soviet union were attacked with nuclear weapons. it was meant to be the ultimate deterrent, a threat to destroy the world in order to prevent an american nuclear strike. but the failure of the soviets to tell the united states about the contraption defeats its purpose and, at the end of the film, inadvertently causes a nuclear armageddon. “the whole point of the doomsday machine is lost, ” dr. strangelove, the president’s science adviser, explains to the soviet ambassador, “if you keep it a secret! ”
in march 2004, the cia announced that garner—reflecting the growing merger between langley and hollywood—had filmed a recruitment video for the agency. “the video emphasizes the cia’s mission, and its need for people with diverse backgrounds and foreign language skills, ” the agency’s press release stated. “ms. garner was excited to participate in the video after being asked by the office of public affairs. the cia’s film industry liaison worked with the writers of alias during the first season to educate them on fundamental tradecraft. although the show alias is fictional, the character jennifer garner plays embodies the integrity, patriotism, and intelligence the cia looks for in its officers. ”
feinstein, who shared mccain’s convictions about torture, was outraged by zero dark thirty, walking out of a special screening arranged for her just fifteen or twenty minutes into the film. “i couldn’t handle it, ” she explained. “because it is so false. ”
after the film was released in december 2012, it came under sharp attack by senator dianne feinstein, who chaired the senate intelligence committee’s torture investigation, and senator john mccain, himself a torture victim at the hands of the north vietnamese. as the senate committee determined, cia interrogators gained no useful information by torturing their victims, either regarding bin laden’s whereabouts or any other significant security issue. mccain’s rejection of the film’s cia - friendly premise was particularly persuasive: “i know from personal experience that the abuse of prisoners will produce more bad than good intelligence... acting without conscience isn’t necessary; it isn’t even helpful in fighting this strange and long war we’re fighting. ”
the agency has established a very active spin machine in the heart of the entertainment capital, which works strenuously to make sure the cloak - and - dagger world is presented in heroic terms. since the mid - 1990s, but especially after 9 / 11, american screenwriters, directors, and producers have traded positive portrayal of the spy profession in film or television projects for special access and favors at cia headquarters .

n for someone other than himself. russian author nikolai gogol dreamed up the source story, supposedly (never invest 100% belief in anything gogol tells you) by way of an anecdote related by alexander pushkin, and published it as a play in 1836. the sardonic and bitingly comedic gogol had long wanted to write a play based on imperial and governmental corruption but his fears of censorship stayed his hand until pushkin floated him the story of the time he was mistaken for an inspector general. still, there was enough hullabaloo from high places to prevent a production of said play until czar nicholas i intervened and gave his consent. the play was a success and gogol was heralded as a genius for its construction. there have been, over the years, various stage versions (fyodor dostoyevsky once played the title character in a production mounted for charity), film versions and even operettas. the key to the popularity of this property lies in its vintage; with gogol dead since 1852, the rights are free .
i am writing to express my concern over the disciplinary investigation the inspector - general’s office opened against representative iván cepeda castro for collecting information about possible human rights violations and submitting it to the justice authorities. a prominent human rights defender and member of the human rights commission of congress, representative cepeda is widely respected in colombia, washington and elsewhere for his firm commitment to protecting the rights of victims of colombia’s internal armed conflict. human rights watch is concerned that your office’s investigation not only appears to be unjustified, but also that it could have a chilling effect on public officials and others who seek to promote accountability for human rights violations .

a decade after the release of “strangelove, ” the soviet union began work on the perimeter system— - a network of sensors and computers that could allow junior military officials to launch missiles without oversight from the soviet leadership. perhaps nobody at the kremlin had seen the film. completed in 1985, the system was known as the dead hand. once it was activated, perimeter would order the launch of long - range missiles at the united states if it detected nuclear detonations on soviet soil and soviet leaders couldn’t be reached. like the doomsday machine in “strangelove, ” perimeter was kept secret from the united states; its existence was not revealed until years after the cold war ended .
locally, the new york times editorial board (7 / 26 / 14) —more than 20 years after the fact—took the position that broken windows’ benefits were “hypothetical. ” the new york post was, well, the new york post (6 / 23 / 16), finding a way to blame mayor bill de blasio for the ig report’s findings. the new york daily news, which had published pretty damning statistics on the crush of quality - of - life policing on black and latino new yorkers (8 / 4 / 14), took editorial outrage at the inspector general’s report undermining the city’s most - cherished policing method (6 / 23 / 16). what the news described as “88 pages of embarrassment” was “a jabberwocky’s mouthful of statistical mumbo - jumbo. ” still fuming three days later (6 / 26 / 16), the editorial board made the strange case that a report critical of policing policy was flawed because the agency that created the report was “filled with prosecutors and cops. ”
vice admiral tim giardina, the second - highest - ranking officer at the u. s. strategic command—the organization responsible for all of america’s nuclear forces— - was investigated last summer for allegedly using counterfeit gambling chips at the horseshoe casino in council bluffs, iowa. according to the iowa division of criminal investigation, “a significant monetary amount” of counterfeit chips was involved. giardina was relieved of his command on october 3, 2013. a few days later, major general michael carey, the air force commander in charge of america’s intercontinental ballistic missiles, was fired for conduct “unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. ” according to a report by the inspector general of the air force, carey had consumed too much alcohol during an official trip to russia, behaved rudely toward russian officers, spent time with “suspect” young foreign women in moscow, loudly discussed sensitive information in a public hotel lounge there, and drunkenly pleaded to get onstage and sing with a beatles cover band at la cantina, a mexican restaurant near red square. despite his requests, the band wouldn’t let carey onstage to sing or to play the guitar .
this doesn’t seem out of line with the play’s ambitions. the period setting and creaky detective plot serve several functions in an inspector calls, but one of them is surely a kind of snake - charming: because the play takes its place so unthreateningly in the theatrical tradition of the drawing - room thriller, its political aspect can be more easily dissimulated. as the action is located within the moral strictures of the detective story, it forces audiences to consider its drama of capital and social class as a sequence of decisions about personal morality .

on august 1, 2013, your office opened an investigation against representative cepeda for “abuse of public function” and “procedural fraud. ” the investigation relates to interviews representative cepeda carried out in various prisons with ex - paramilitaries about former president álvaro uribe’s alleged ties to paramilitaries, which he subsequently submitted to prosecutors. the inspector - general’s office’s investigation is based on a complaint filed by mr. uribe’s lawyer alleging that representative cepeda was authorized to visit prisons to verify the human rights conditions in detention centers—and not to conduct interviews about paramilitary crimes—and that he knowingly delivered false information from the interviews to justice authorities. mr. uribe has also alleged that representative cepeda gave money to the family of one of the ex - paramilitary witnesses, an accusation we believe may form part of your office’s investigation .

“that was a grand slam, ” observed the former cia officer robert baer, whose memoir see no evil inspired its own cinematic tale of foreign intrigue, the critically acclaimed 2005 film syriana, with george clooney starring as a fictional cia officer partly based on baer. but, baer added, argo “had nothing to do with reality. anybody involved in that operation knows that. the unit mendez worked for is fictional. he was a makeup guy. he made the first mustache i used. they aren’t supposed to last a long time, so they don’t remember your face. ” when people ask baer what he thinks is the best film made about the cia, he tells them to watch hbo’s the wire. “it’s the same mindless bureaucracy and politics and ambition, ” he explained. “all the other crap you run into in a police department, you run into in intelligence. ”
