You can almost root for Hans and when the safe finally opens, complete with rising strains of the Ode to Joy, it's a great moment.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-3289355107750729012012-09-21T23:04:40.152-05:002012-09-21T23:04:40.152-05:00Yikes!
