I’m assuming that Vista Bill films are popular in Cuba partly because they predate the breakdown in diplomatic relations between the two countries, and copies remain in circulation.
Though I’ll cede Sydney’s point that, given $4 Billion has gone missing, a road trip to Cuba might be seen as “Taking the pretty way" to solving the crime.
That said, if “X-Ray Specs” hold the potential to generate who knows how many more similar crimes, then I suppose Tracy & Company are justified in prioritizing their pursuit.

For a few years I did that, but now I have some else who carries the other set. Unfortunately, I was alone on Saturday.
I have locked my car with the key in the ignition more times than I like to count.
The strange thing is that this car will not permit the doors to be locked with the key in the ignition. I discovered this by accident recently. If you lock the door when it’s open and the key is in the ignition, the electric locks instantly unlock again. Even with that protection, though, I still managed to lock the key in the car twice in 6 months! Both times, I dropped the key in different ways. I couldn’t believe I did it a second time!

@Ken in Ohio
How, by any stretching or distorting of the definition, can the dialog of the last several days be considered “babbling”??
.Tracy just spent 3 days being sarcastic to a known criminal who was pointing a gun at him. That, Kenny G is babbling!
