Avanti (1972 Billy Wilder & co-scr)

I was marvelling at the long takes between Lemmon and Juliet Mills, who I am determined we should interview about her great performance - for example at dinner on terrace of Grand Hotel Excelsior, and basking like seals on the rock - she easily holding her own alongside the great Lemmon.

"Then you will have to pay for the road sign he knocked down - Bad Curve Ahead."


Talking of food, didn't think much of Willie and Kate's dinner choices, drink or food - we certainly wouldn't have ordered gnocchi or ravioli and as for the duck - surely the Catch of the Day would have been the wisest option. OK to the Biancolella, though.

'Pop!'


I just love the way the Maitre D' Guidarino Guidi offers to take the apple away and have it 'peeeeled'.
