Anyone catch the Monty Python segment where they faded from the couple
to a shot of an old brick smokestack falling down - shown in reverse?
Followed by the steam whistle, a waterfall, a train going thru a tunnel,
a few other innocent scenes, then the chimney again - falling, this time.
Amazing how much you can say with how little.
