Il Gattopardo
MrM
I can't understand why
you don't want to watch Il Gattopardo again.
It is a cinema classic
with Burt Lancaster at the height of his career.
MrsM
I haven't got three hours to spare.
MrM
But you should make the time...
it is an outstanding record
of the Risorgimento period of Italian history.
MrsM
No.
MrM
Well, I can see it would be more meaningful for me
as I have a detailed understanding of
Italian language, culture and history...
whereas your knowledge is limited...
to Italian ice-cream flavours.

ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't rise to the bait, Mrs. M! That's three hours of your life you'll never get back again... ;)
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that MrsM should feel this about a film after she inflicted 'Australia' on us.

Oh dear. MrM, I do see your point!
