There were a lot of problems with Bing-motors. To get them right we needed a better titanium layer, but that was in the domain of the American space industry, and they don't give anything away… (Panamarenko)
Orson Welles' The Lady from Shanghai from 1947. At a certain moment, you hear a commercial on the radio: "Brillo Lusto, this is your hair, this is your man!" And then I thought: that doesn't sound bad, but I'll make it "Ferro" Lusto. Because Ferro is iron and Ferro Lusto sounds right for a flying saucer. (Panamarenko)
