Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ The Genius 100+ years ahead of time.

In the film “The Genius” (1975), Lucy and Locomotive Bill, who is disguised as a

colonel go to the fort. Before ending up in a cell they enter the office of Major Cabot

preceded by Sergeant Milton. In this sequence we see fifteen unlikely modern flags to the

left of the office entrance. About a hundred years ahead of its time, the first flag near the

door can be seen pretty clearly, it is that of the German Democratic Republic (East

Germany), colors Black Red and Yellow and the characteristic compass in the center and

the last of the European Community with yellow stars in the blue field.
