“My friend Dan recommended this to me after his friend recommended it to him. La Poison by Sacha Guitry, which has the best opening credit sequence of all time. It's Sacha Guitry going up to every member of the cast and the crew and introducing them and telling them not only how much he loves them, but why he loves them. And it's great. It's really special.”
