@@matthewhutchinson9353 Back in the 1960's there were laws in exotic, remote Switzerland (a major world banking center) that ensured anonymity for anyone with a disguised account name, so all the world dictators would have accounts under fake names so that when they were overthrown in a revolution they could escape and retire in luxury somewhere.
Looks like Gilligan got lucky and won this duel. This show had some pretty good guest stars like Don Rickles and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Rickles is still alive but we recently lost Gabor.
I still love "Gilligan's Island" even with all the fake stuff in it. This is the second episode where someone is getting ready to shoot Gilligan with the skipper standing right behind the shooter. Why don't the skipper just grab the guy and subdue him BEFORE he shoots Gilligan?
Since he had his redemption arc, and he will ultimately be denied from entering his and other countries, it would’ve been cool to see him come back to the island at the end and become a permanent castaway.
The Little Dictator played by Nehemiah Persoff is still alive and I believe in his late 90's. he had a lot of great roles in movies and tv appearances.
Mr. Persoff was born in Isreal and moved to America with his family when he was only ten years old. He had a talent for dialect which led to a lot of acting jobs. I would say he spoke very good English based on his educational background.
Yes, Gilligan's island is a true story. Ginger is based on the real life 1930's movie goddess Jean Harlow from before she was famous (during the 1920's), when she was stuck on a remote island with a billionaire and his wife, and a professor, etc. in the days before modern communications technology.
