Needless to say, this is one of my very favorite movies. 

Watching Primo cook takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen -- and the music....

My favorite scene, though, is at the end, when they are preparing a simple breakfast of eggs and fresh bread the morning after the party.  I always want to be with them for that meal.

Excellent comparison to Roark and Keating.  I had never thought of that.

Glenn, Thanks for the heads-up. I just told TIVO to get it for me. Curiously it didn't mention Tucci in the credits?!
