This is gonna be a good one, and I'm gonna stay out of it asong as possible. A couple of things-
1) Yes, the judge in "Anatomy Of A Murder" was the lawyer(Welch?)who nailed McCarthey.
2) I'm glad someone has pointed out Ragozin was far from the first to figure out weight matters. Time-Form has been adjusting it's figures for weight since WW 2.
3) "Beyer On Speed" has in it a study concerning weight/figures- he was shocked at the outcome. Incidentally, seeing Andy on speed would be pretty funny.
4) Everyone who voted for "Gladiator" for Best Picture should be made to watch "Ben Hur". Trivia- the original novel was written by Civil War General Wallace.
5) I was discussing the screenplay I wrote with a potential producer once, and explained the racing scenes would have to be shot live- they wouldn't look realistic if they were staged. She said the chariot race in "Ben Hur" worked out pretty well. I pointed out that no-one alive had actually seen a chariot race...
