Bananas from Brazil 2
I learned in Bananas from Brazil 1 that the yellow fruit should be mighty jealous of the size of the Brazilians director Alexander has found. Part 2 of the saga even more firmly imbeds that theory in my mind. I would say that Alexander cast these guys only with a ruler, but most are such good performers that the audition process had to be more than that!
