Zelig

1:08:10

It was nothing like
it happened in the movie.

1:08:13

When Leonard left the podium,
they didn't know what to think.

1:08:17

We couldn't believe our eyes.

1:08:19

Hitler's speech was ruined.

1:08:21

He wanted to make
a good joke about Poland...

1:08:25

but just then,
Zelig interfered...

1:08:30

and Hitler was extremely upset.

1:08:34

The SS wanted to grab Zelig...

1:08:40

but if they would have
grabbed him...

1:08:43

they probably would have
tortured him...

1:08:46

or maybe even shot him.

1:08:48

So in the confusion...

1:08:50

Fletcher and Zelig
got out of the building...

1:08:53

through a side door.

1:08:55

They grabbed a car,
sped away in the car...

1:08:59

and the SS after them,
shot them.

1:09:02

In rare
German newsreel footage...

1:09:05

a quick glimpse of the escape
was recorded.

1:09:22

I was flying.
It was wonderful.

1:09:25

And then suddenly,
something happened.

1:09:27

I was frightened.
I lost control.

1:09:30

We went into a dive.

1:09:32

Leonard was so terrified that
he changed his personality...

1:09:36

and before my eyes,
because I was a pilot...

1:09:40

he turned into one, too.

1:09:42

Zelig takes control
of the airplane.

1:09:45

Acting the role of pilot...

1:09:47

he struggles valiantly
with the aircraft.

1:09:49

The Germans, who are stunned,
take a full fifteen minutes...

1:09:54

before following
in hot pursuit of their quarry.

1:09:56

With Eudora Fletcher
unconscious...

1:09:59

Zelig, who had never flown
before in his life...
