dinner set 100 piece image

I rememeber this scene from a movie from when I was a kid:
A man is pretending to be a monk in a silent monestary. At dinner he blows his cover when he asks for somebody to pass the salt.
Anybody know the title?
Thanks!
Answer
The Frisco Kid (1979)
starring Gene Wilder, Harrison Ford, Ramon Bieri, William Smith, Penny Peyser, Val Bisoglio, Ian Wolfe
IMDb synopsis:
It's 1850, and newly-ordained orthodox rabbi Avram Belinski sets out on horseback from Philadelphia to San Francisco, knowing only that California's "somewhere near New York." Cowpoke bandit Tom Lillard hasn't seen a rabbi before. But he knows when one needs a heap of help. And, getting this tenderfoot to Frisco in one piece is going to cause a heap of trouble~with the law, Indians and a bunch of ruthless killers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually, the talkative rabbi (Gene Wilder) accidentally causes the monk (Vincent Schiavelli I think) to break silence when he thanks him for passing the salt and the monk says, "You're welcome." After the shock passes, all of them start laughing!
I LOVE this movie and have watched it no less than 100 times over the years. My family has always quoted from this. I should suggest it more at Y!A Movies.

What appetizers should I serve at a Civil War style ball?

I will be hosting a Civil War ball. What appetizers should I serve? We will have about 100 people. What drinks should be served as well?
Answer
Sounds GREAT! not knowing your budget or time of year inside or outside...etc.
Also are there going to be many helpers to keep the platters filled and drinks flowing?
If there are few helpers then you need to prepare as much ahead of time as possible and keep refrigerated so all you do is transport and set up the tables.
Platters of meats, fruit and cheese with nuts and some brownies chocolate and blonde stacked on cake plates that are on a stand. Use a couple punch bowls on each end of the buffet tables would be simple and attractive. One recipe for a punch is lime sherbert and ginger ale with a frozen fruit ring to float in the center. Freeze berries, sliced peaches, strawberries blueberries in apple juice or orange juice in jello mold or ring mold. It makes for a very attractive punch.
Place civil war flags around for some decor and posters of civil war military.
Prepare some creamed cheese spreads with different ingredients that can be piped on different type crackers. Sprinkled with herbs and pimento etc. Think of color and variety.
Purchase some small dinner rolls like Parker house they fold over and can be used for holding sliced cold deli meats. I'd stay away from mayonnaise in the summer. Use mustard or butter. A pickle and olive tray would be nice next to these sandwiches.
Meatballs are always nice held in a chafing dish they can be made ahead frozen, thawed reheated and served. Buy or make your own dipping sauce. Have plenty toothpicks and places to dispose the used ones plus plenty napkins and paper plates that are firm not floppy.
In closing keep it simple, colorful, and think of the theme. Study the civil war period history make something that represents that time when food was scarce. Whatever you discover it can be something of interest to talk about at the ball.
Allow 2 pieces of each food per person so you have enough to serve.
Best of luck,
