File Under "Bedfellows, Strange"

I tell you, by reading some of America's smaller papers, one can learn the most astonishing things. For example, the above gem comes to us from a feature in TCPalm, proudly serving "Florida's treasure coast and palm beaches."

If you pay close attention to the second paragraph, you'll discover something both astonishing physiologically and intriguing in terms of its implications to film history.

And as for the copy itself, well ... I suppose I'm not that surprised that this plucky little periodical doesn't have a fact checker, but really - couldn't they even spell her name right?

  1. The imagery of Ingmar and Roberto quickly preparing a spaghetti aio oio (aglio olio) for young isabella walking from school through roman hills lined with cipressi is rather intriguing.

    Just imagine Ingmar spilling some oil on his white shirt and screaming a modulated 'oooohhhh Robertooo', not dissimilar from Albin's redoubtable 'oooooohhhh Renatooo.' But that's another odd couple.

  3. Can you imagine the offspring of that union? Something akin to an even more boring Liv Ullmann.

  5. Ayem8y, you've got me going; so far the only thing I can think of as being even more boring than Liv Ullmann is Very Hruba Ralston, but she was Czech, not Scandinavian.

    And Norma, I've held off, feeling badly for poor Marilyn given the basting that she's taking in the comments - although I find it interesting that the paper has the staff to be deleting comments, but not to actually correct the errors...

  6. And so journalism takes another hit. Blame the economy there's no spell checker!
