Tossup

While doing this action, a character reveals that the only Russian he speaks is “ya vas lyublyu,” or “I love you.” An attempt at this action fails when a character boarding a bus responds to the phrase “good luck” with “thank you.” (15[1])One of the few characters who ultimately pulls off this action takes a phone call in a cafe moments before a drive-by shooting kills several other patrons. In a film with a script by James Clavell, a forger places a coin on the (*) floor so that he can mask his poor eyesight and carry on with this action using “Tom, Dick, and Harry.” (10[1])An Elmer Bernstein march is the primary leitmotif for this action, which the “Cooler King” tries using a motorcycle. For 10 points, a John Sturges epic depicts a mass attempt at what action in Stalag Luft III? ■END■ (10[1])
