[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Kramer is active in the re-opening of an old movie theater. George's friend Lloyd Braun has a pack of Chinese chewing gum that Kramer insists everyone tries. Elaine accidentally "reveals herself" to Lloyd. Jerry must wear glasses while around Lloyd. George's friend Deena thinks he is showing signs of being on the verge of a breakdown.
Spoilers end here.
[edit] Trivia
- When Elaine wonders if her breakup with Lloyd Braun may have had something to do with his mental breakdown, Jerry makes a sarcastic comment about his breakup with Elaine and Elaine replies "Oh, yeah? Well I got news for ya..." Elaine says something else but the audio is deleted. You can clearly see that her mouth is moving for a second but the camera and the audio switch to George.
- The two films that are shown at the revival theatre, Spartacus and The Private Life of Henry VIII, both star Charles Laughton.
- This is Larry David's last brief onscreen appearance on the show. He appeared as a newsstand worker who wouldn't accept money from George. He would later voice an unseen minor character in both "The Wig Master" and "The Finale, Part 2", as well as continuing his recurring role as the voice of George Steinbrenner.
