Need I add that you sounded as though they meant the same thing.Well, in fact, I thought I'd posted the complaint on account of them meaning precisely something different!

Twist and turn though I might, Cap, I cannot see that you were doing what you claim to have been doing nor can I see how Max understood that he had misconstrued it. Your last sentence seems a non sequitur to this poor blighted pal.

Thank you slity...for nearly 30 years a song has been periodically popping into my head about Sacco and Vanzetti.
It was in a movie I saw at my grandmother's home when I was around ten years old. BUT I never knew it was about real people. I don't know why the bit of song has stuck with me all those years. I still only remember two gents being dragged away at the end, somebody yelling nooooo and that soulful song.
I wish I could find the movie again but in French Québec, finding an old English movie is somewhat out of the question.

bel: There was a movie, made in Italy, called Sacco e Vanzetti, that came out in 1971. It was eventually released in the US--in Canada? I don't know. Nor do I know if it's available on video.

I don't know if it was ever made into a movie, but. Why yes! What do you know? http://us.imdb.com/Title?0121411The musical Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris has a song, Marathon, about the turning of the decades. Sacco & Vanzetti are mentioned in that, but one of the most memorable lyrics to me is: And the seventies flash and the eighties bang And the nineties whimper and the century hangs...

My favourite line, if I remember it correctly, has to be: "Call your broker and buy marzipan"
Reminds me of a radio show announcer on CBC who says/said "A day without Mozart is like a day without marzipan"
