A secondary impetus to my wandering wondering today was a piece on the radio about a short Netflix documentary entitled "What Would Sophia Loren do?". Anyway, that got me to thinking about how the French have this reputation as red-hot lovers, but mostly only the men if so; most of the non-American movie "bombshells" during my my lifetime were Italian. Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Elke Sommer - wait, she was German - did I say Sophia Loren?
Well, anyway, it seemed to my forever-teenaged brain like the red-hot lovers on the silver screen of the foreign and female type were always Italian. Yes, there was Pepe, but maybe he was actually Basque or something. But French femme fatales? Not so much.
