We've come a long way
I just had to make a comment about the 'confession' scene. When Rita tells Tom that when she was sixteen, the man she worked with seduced her (statutory rape)and after twelve hours in her room, he SOLD HER to an English traveler for 50 lire ('white slavery'!!). To which Tom says "I forgive you". Rita then says(unbelievably as it sounds) "Oh can you Tom?"and Tom replies "Why not, it was a long time ago wasn't it?" HE forgives HER?! AAAhhh!! I think my head is going to explode! We sure have come a long way!
