When I visited Albania in the 80s, Norman had a great fan base in that country as his were the only foreign comedy films permitted. It was still possible at that time to see his films in the cinemas there as well as on their TV. I believe that he was given an award by the Albanians some time during the 90s.
Thank you Norman, the guy who made the grey suits in Tirana giggle, for all the laughs and happiness you gave us over the years….May you truly rest in peace.
