Hard to believe that the lead (Tom Hulce) was also "Pinto" in Animal House!

My favorite scene is when Wolfie is mocking Salieri at that party and farts.

LOL, this reminds me of my freshman music history professor, Dr. David G. Phillips, at the University of South Carolina. You have to imagine this outwardly grumpy old man, so grumpy that he could've made Walter Matthau tuck his tail between his legs, but with this slow, higher-class sounding, old-fashioned Southern drawl. His comment on the movie "Amadeus": "It's lies, all lies! Now, E.T., that's a good movie, I love E.T.!"
