Absolutely right! After doing some research into very old-time movies, I found that the movie to which you refer -- released in December of 1939.

Did you enjoy attending the premier?

I hired Niven to play the main character. I believe Emil was senior partner in the company. I understand he got a gold watch and retired after the movie was made.

Nah, I looked, it was labeled as a Ralex. Instead of "Swiss Made" it said "Snuck over the border from a Foreign Country".
