...look at the fellow under the bed and let fly with a series of swift kicks where it counts. Out rolled Anthony Quinn, dodging the barrage. Unrelenting, Anna Magnani followed with a smart boot in the rear, then dumped a strainer of noodles on his head after she had sunk her teeth into his neck. When Quinn complained about that toothy bit not being in the script of the film they were making, The Secret of Santa Vittoria, Magnani silenced him with some logic of her own.

Hobart was holed in at least 200 places by what turned out to be three U.S. air-to-air Sparrow missiles, and three other vessels, including the cruiser U.S.S. Boston, reported that they had been fired...
