Who but Romero could steal an entire movie with only two brief scenes?
Hot Millions
(1968)
Peter Ustinov
Maggie Smith
Karl Malden
Bob Newhart
When Ustinov and Smith were escaping Britain with their embezzled millions, he was the customs inspector at the airport in Rio de Janeiro. He opened one case, saw all the neat stacks of money, marked everything OK, and told them, "Enjoy your stay in Brazil!" with the most wolfish grin.
Later, Malden and Newhart follow them to Rio and they, too, pass through his station. The injured pride and affronted dignity was a sight to behold when he took a jar of instant coffee from Malden's suitcase. "You're bringing
instant coffee
to Brazil? I'm not going to dignify this by confiscating it!" And he made Malden open the jar and empty it into the trash bin."The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things,"

You make a very good point!
I have many of Cesar's movies and he steals every movie with his diversity and brilliant acting!!! I have been a fan since I was about six years old and that's a long, long time ago!!! -

Very true. Cesar Romero always brought a special quality to all of the roles he played. I remember an episode of
"Love, American Style"
many years ago when George Lindsay had to challenge him to a duel. Priceless!!
And age 6 was a long, long time ago for me, too.
Have you noticed that in Shakespeare's plays soothsayers said the sooth, the whole sooth, and nothing but the sooth?

Romero was a good Joker in a way, but the producers botched his characterization by making him just a lovable, non-violent clown. Still he is great in the role if you imagine him doing more villainous things off-screen.

Thank you for the Cesar Romero Channel.
My room has been so soggy with nostalgia that I forgot to come back and say thanks.
