The Wizard of Speed and Time is a little-known treasure. I met the
creator (a certain Mr. Jittlov) many years ago, and he described the
making of that film. The plot to the movie is about how he tries to
make a movie, and he gets the run-around from studio execs. Well, in
real life, as he tried to make Wizard, he really did get the
run-around. And of course these same execs got all the royalties.

Mr. Jittlov is intelligent and very funny. Also eccentric: he refuses
to shake hands with people.
