At a business party on the roof of the Ritz Gotham, attended by Bruce Wayne and Dr.Chase Meridian and other guests - a dining/dancing gala was held to unveil Edward Nygma's New Improved Box (with "fully-interactive holographic fantasies").The film was Oscar-less, but was nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Interior Decoration (Carroll Clark and Van Nest Polglase), Best Song ("Cheek to Cheek" with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin), and Best Dance Direction (Hermes Pan with the uncredited assistance of Astaire himself).Bourne learned from Ross that Blackbriar was a "Treadstone upgrade," and that Bourne was "square one, the dirty little secret.It featured more crew and extras than any other film before it - 15,000 extras alone for the chariot race sequence.An unsuspecting, wealthy American man - Rudy Linnekar (Jeffrey Green) (the boss of the town) and his giggling, blonde floozy, mistress/girlfriend Zita (Joi Lansing) [later, we learn she is a striptease dancer] emerge out of the background darkness and get into the car, driving off through the streets toward the US-Mexican border about four blocks away.
