Quibbles & Bits

. . . Fast-rising actor Vincent D’Onofrio (“Full Metal Jacket,” “Mystic Pizza,” “Fires Within” upcoming) just finished his latest role, “Hey Caruso!”--without pay. He honored a 4-year-old promise to boyhood chum Elio Medina, a CalArts student who directed the $25,000, 25-minute film, which was shot with SAG waivers. Brian Hall (producer) and Andrew Tsao (writer) were also in on the casting coup.

. . . Title just registered with the MPAA: “My Mother-in-Law Is Hitler.”
