Re: movies and archives - specific joke:-))



In Romania under communism, the National Archives were a branch of Ministry of Interior, together with Police, Fire Squad etc.  Sometimes, the employees were re-distributed in these branches, disrespectful of their basic profession. From here, in a several movies about policemen, it has been said to an officer:
- If you don't work harder, you'll be send to work in Archives...
 
This is really "a scene in a film that gets the archivists job right", isn't it?  :-)))
