:23:01
there are
the endless exhibitions.
:23:04
In Hollywood,
he's a great favorite...
:23:06
and is offered a film contract.
:23:09
Clara Bow invites him
for a private weekend...
:23:12
and tells him to bring
all his personalities.
:23:15
In Chicago, he meets heavyweight
champion Jack Dempsey...
:23:19
who clowns with Zelig
at his training camp.
:23:22
In Washington, D.C.,
he is introduced...
:23:24
to both Calvin Coolidge
and Herbert Hoover.
:23:27
In France, he is hailed
as Le Lezard.
:23:30
He is the toast
of the Parisian music halls.
:23:34
His performance endears him to
leading French intellectuals...
:23:37
who see in him
a symbol for everything.
:23:40
His transformation
into a rabbi...
:23:43
is so realistic
that certain Frenchmen...
:23:46
suggest he be sent
to Devil's lsland.
:23:52
At the Folies Bergere...
:23:54
Josephine Baker does her version
of the Chameleon Dance...
:23:57
and later tells friends...
:23:59
she finds Zelig amazing,
but a little lost.
:24:03
Everyone used to be
at my place--
:24:06
everyone who was someone--
:24:09
and occasionally
someone would bring Zelig in--
:24:14
Leonard in.
:24:16
Cole Porter
was fascinated by Leonard...
:24:20
and he once
wrote a line in a song...
:24:24
"You're the tops.
You're Leonard Zelig."
:24:29
But then he couldn't find
anything to rhyme with Zelig.
:24:40
I'm flying high
:24:43
'Cause I've got a feeling
I'm falling
:24:46
Falling for nobody else but you
:24:53
You caught my eye
:24:55
Now I got a feeling I'm falling
:24:58
Show me that ring,
and I'll jump right through
