Police Officer: Did you get a look at this criminal? You'ver got to help us catch him, or he'll do it again.
Innocent Bystander: Yes Officer, I got a good look at his face - he was purple!
Police Officer: Yes - but any distinguishing features....?


All this reminds me of GREAT MOMENTS IN CINEMA HISTORY

Tony Curtis in THE PURPLE MASK. The filmakers were obviously too cheap to buy the rights of the Scarlet Pimpernel - so they made THE PURPLE MASK.   Tony played the eponymous hero.

One part of the film - Tony jumps onto a moving stagecaoch to rescue somebody. The driver clocks him and shouts out in a broad Brooklyn accent, IT'S DA POIPLE MASK!!!!

The film went downhill from there, but try and see it for that.
