Bambole, or "Dolls," is the playful sex comedy that scandalized the Vatican, provoked a near crisis over movie censorship in the Italian government, and brought grievous moments to scrumptious Gina Lollobrigida, who told a Roman judge that during her celebrated "nude" scene she was wearing a flesh-colored coverall. Pending the outcome of charges that Lollo and her codefendants may have perpetrated an immoral exhibition, movie exhibitors everywhere are itching to unreel the evidence.

At about this point, poor Tony is driven to drink (something called a Laughing Hyena: one part vermouth, two parts gin, three...
...salmon and peas sitting in the very middle of the table. Because I felt that Dorothy May Anderson's father was right: forget-me-nots are more important than food. In fact, it's a wonder nobody has ever thought of them before. They would probably make a ravishingly scrumptious salad. Besides, I never did feature salmon and peas--in any form...
