:20:02
People from all over the country
fight for space...
:20:05
to peek at this new wonderment.
:20:17
Selling mementos
while her brother...
:20:19
is allowed
to be on exhibition...
:20:21
is only the beginning
for Ruth Zelig and Martin Geist.
:20:25
Admission is charged for
twice-daily demonstrations...
:20:28
of Leonard's stunning prowess.
:20:30
He does not disappoint...
:20:32
changing appearance
over and over upon demand.
:20:35
Overnight, he has become
an attraction, a novelty...
:20:39
a freak.
:20:42
In this 1935 film
based on the life of Zelig...
:20:46
called "The Changing Man"...
:20:49
the atmosphere
is best summed up.
:20:51
We can't give up
custody of Leonard.
:20:54
I know, if given the chance,
I can cure him.
:20:56
Even our attorney
says it's hopeless.
:21:00
Dr. Fletcher--
may I call you Eudora?
:21:02
Somewhere behind
that vacuous face...
:21:04
that zombielike stare...
:21:06
is a real human being,
and I can bring it out.
:21:10
How?
:21:11
Some new way, some technique.
:21:13
Whatever it is,
it will have to be personal.
:21:17
There's not much
I can do legally.
:21:19
They don't care.
They'll exploit him.
:21:22
They see a chance to make money.
:21:25
Look. They're selling
this Leonard Zelig doll.
:21:28
The film did not exaggerate.
:21:30
There weren't only Leonard Zelig
pens and lucky charms...
:21:33
but clocks and toys,
watches and books...
:21:36
and a famous Leonard Zelig doll.
:21:39
There were aprons,
chameleon-shaped earmuffs...
:21:41
and a popular
Leonard Zelig game.
