Who has the only speaking part in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie"?

The only person with a spoken line in Mel Brooks' 1976 film Silent Movie is the legendary mime artist Marcel Marceau, who utters a single word, "Non" (No). While the movie uses intertitles for most dialogue, Marceau's brief, whispered "non" breaks the silent convention, adding to the film's comedic meta-commentary.

Which city is known as the Windy City?

The city known as the "Windy City" is Chicago, a nickname stemming from both its breezy lakefront and, more famously, its politicians being perceived as "full of hot air" by rivals in the late 1800s. While the term originated from newspaper rivalry, it stuck due to both the literal winds off Lake Michigan and the city's boastful reputation.
