in the New York Herald Tribune, saying that he appeared in a French television documentary, is a fake: the actual obituary available on the web site of the New York Times says: "He was great as our James Bond, getting us in and out secretly, even giving us code names," said Winston Lord, former president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who accompanied Mr. Kissinger to the secret talks with the Vietnamese. Whereas the paper shown in the film says: General Walters' last known public appearance was on a French Television documentary in which he talked about the White House's with the Apollo program in the late 1960s. Both the producer and director noted that Walters was in perfect shape. Fictional characters The names of the fictitious witnesses and of the actors impersonating them appear in the end credits. Moreover, Arte (co-producer and original broadcaster of the film) accompanied the airing in France by a web site featuring a quiz in which the player was led to guess in which films the characters having those names originally appeared. The following list reproduces the correct answers of the quiz. Jack Torrance is a fictional character in Kubrick's The Shining, not a Hollywood producer, and is played by David Winger. David Bowman is a fictional character in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (film), not a real astronaut, and is played by Tad Brown. Maria Vargas (lead character in The Barefoot Contessa) is played by Jacquelyn Toman and is not Buzz Aldrin's sister. Eve Kendall is a fictional character in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest and was not Nixon's secretary (whose name was Rose Mary Woods), and is played by Barbara Rogers. Dimitri Muffley is a play on the names from Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (Soviet Premier Dimitri Kisov and American President Merkin Muffley) and is not a "former KGB agent." He is played by Bernard Kirschoff. Ambrose Chapel is the name of a place in Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much, not an "ex-CIA agent", and is played by John Rogers. George Kaplan (mentioned by narrator) is a fictional character within a fictional character in the Hitchcock film, North By Northwest. W. A. Koenigsberg ("W. A." stands for "Woody Allen", as Koenigsberg is Woody Allen's true name) is played by Binem Oreg. Reception Arte aired the film for the first time on 16 October 2002, and a second time on 1 April
