and I used to live on the Upper West Side of NY and work in Brooklyn. Each workday I would take the subway from Central Park West to Brooklyn. On the morning of March 26, 1989, I happened to see a film crew working in the park as I approached the train station. I asked a crew man, "What project are you working on?" He answered, "New York Times"--which was the working title for the movie. The newspaper would not give the studio permission to use that title so it was changed. I knew about the working title from Trekzine. I asked the man to please wish Mr. Nimoy a happy birthday! I've always wondered if he did . . . and if Mr. Nimoy wondered how a passerby knew (a) that it happened to be his birthday and (b) that he was the director of the movie in production! Since Mr. Wilder plays a cartoonist in the film I suggested the title "See You in the Funny Pages" but, of course, it wasn't used. I've seen the movie and tried to spot a scene filmed at Central Park but I didn't see it.
