In what might be Quentin Tarantino’s magnum opus — the 2009 film Inglorious Basterds — there is a scene in which Brad Pitt’s character Lieutenant Aldo Raine is tasked with disguising himself as an Italian by the name of Gorlami in order to infiltrate a Nazi movie premiere.
It’s a rather iconic scene, with Pitt having to repeat the name with increasing comic unease as his Texas drawl and utter lack of conversational proficiency are tested by Christopher Waltz’s bone-chilling Colonel Hans Landa. Incognito, hardly.
