Intersting notes....it's hard for me to watch that movie because I can't understand a work Claudia Cardinale says.
Golly. I can understand that. I lived and worked in Italy for 9 1/2 years while in the Navy, and I enjoyed co-working with Italian nationals.
Some very humorous conversations were had when words they used weren't the right words, and there would not be an Italian word for the English one. I wish I had written them all down. Of course, they had their own words and expressions for situations that were a lot of fun just knowing they had different ways of looking at absurdities.
It required a period of adjustment for me to understand what was being said in English by a few, but I soon grew quite accustomed to them once I could hear them speaking in Italian with one another.
I picked up some very interesting language skills from them, none of which I can use in polite company.
