The family watched the original (1951) version of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" this evening. Professor Barnhardt is the character based on Albert Einstein. He is played by Sam Jaffe. It's been awhile since I've seen the film and I didn't notice last time around, but Jaffe looks an awful lot like Sen. Arlen Specter.
(As an aside, everyone sing along now "Michael Rennie was ill / the day the Earth stood still ..." You bring the rice; I'll bring the newspapers. Costumes are optional, but the doing the Time Warp is required.)

Only you could work 2 of my favorite films into the same post. Nifty.
I think we may be the only two people to get the connection.
The prize for the next person who put's it together. You can take my alum cans to the junkyard and keep the money.
Oooow, I see the line forming already. ;)
