On the other hand, many years ago there
was a movie called "Z" starring Yves Montand and directed
by Costa-Gavras. The reason this works is that
the hero (it's based on a true story) had a name starting
with "Z" and after his death (killed by his political enemies
in the government) his followers refer to him as "Z", which
is pronounced "zee", which is phonetically the same
as "zei" which means "He lives". At least that was
the way it was explained to me--the explanation showed up in TIME,
for example.

2 points:
1) I remember seeing David Frost on TV, referring to
   the movie as "Zed".
2) The movie took place in Greece, so shouldn't

   he have been called "Zeta"?

Oh well,
