THE MAKING OF UNCLE LOUIE: entry 19


Uncle Louie is a very hungry man and spends much of his short time on earth finding and eating whatever he can get his hands on. Having been dead since 1972, he returned to earth with a big hunger. Many scenes depict Louie sitting at tables and filling his empty stomach with Italian delicacies. He seems never to get full. Because of his desperate need to eat, he runs Bernice and Bennie in circles . One of the best food scenes in the movie opens with an overhead shot of the dinner table laden with Italian cold cuts, bread, tomatoes and desserts.
