Lina Wertmeuller, 1928 - 2021

Lina Wertmueller died today at age 93. 

My family had HBO in the '70's and I watched a couple of her movies then. I was in junior high and watched The Seven Beauties and Swept Away.  

There was a scene in Swept Away where the bourgeois woman complains that the spaghetti was overcooked. I've been self-conscious about my spaghetti ever since. And that was 45 years ago. 

I just started watching the movie again. I was thirteen when I saw it and didn't realize it was a comedy.
