(A) Introduction
In a scene from Last Action Hero, Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger) confronts John Practice (F. Murray Abraham, who also played Salieri in Amadeus), who just betrayed him to the bad guys:
Jack Slater: “Danny told me not to trust you. He said you killed Mozart.”
John Practice: “Moe who?”
Jack Slater: “Zart.”
John Practice: [thinks for a bit, shrugs] “You know, I kill a lot of people, I can’t remember half of them.”
Yes, this is the memory that comes to mind whenever I hear the name “Mozart.” Hey, it’s better than Rock Me Amadeus.
