Nazi Helmet ad (:57)

UPDATE: Corrected the name of the movie (thanks, Squeaky!) and discovered that this piece was on a track by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary. According to Wikipedia, Pete pled guilty in 1970 to taking “immoral and indecent liberties” with a 14-year-old female fan, and served three months in prison.

1. The movie is You Are What You Eat – the nazi ad is only one part of “Teenage Fair,” the first track on the soundtrack album. Look here: http://cgi.ebay.com/You-Are-What-You-Eat-Soundtrack-Lp-Yarrow-Tiny-Tim_W0QQitemZ4856044689QQcategoryZ306QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
