Round 8: Tossup 5

Sidney Lumet’s father played one of these people who acts out his fantasies on a game show in Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex. In a classic scene of French comedy, adopting the disguise of one of these people embroils Louis de Funès (“LOO-ee duh foo-NESS”) in an impromptu group dance. A close-up (15[1])on the hands of one of these people depicts him giving a radio to a teenager before quoting the lyrics of “Somebody to Love” by Jefferson (*) Airplane. Sam Waterston played one of these people who goes blind in Crimes and Misdemeanors. One of these people named Scott tells a film’s protagonist to “just look at that parking lot.” Jimi Hendrix’s “Machine Gun” plays over a montage in which one of these people narrates a story about a dentist finding inscriptions on a patient’s teeth. For 10 points, the protagonist of the Coen brothers’ A Serious Man (-5[1])seeks out the advice of what religious leaders? ■END■ (10[1])
