did you notice the canopy being opened to the wrong side in your last
picture of the Duo-Discus in "The Thomas Crown Affair"? You can see the
opened hinges at the frame. Let's hope they did at least not enter or
leave the cockpit at this "wrong" side of the plane :-)

According to the rumour mill, Pierce Brosnan is vain enough about
being filmed on his good side that they modified the aircraft to have
the canopy open to the other side. But that's unconfirmed.
