So I was Googling information about Rube Goldberg, and found out he had a son named George W. George (Rube insisted both his boys change their last name during WWII because of all the political heat Rube was getting over his editorial cartoons). George W. George got into show business and produced among other things the film My Dinner With Andre which is famous for being just one long scene with two characters chatting over dinner.

So the son of the man so well known for creating overly complicated devices to do simple things, produced a Hollywood film with one the simplest setups possible.
