Ms. Reynolds
Sorry. They did not use the term "Ms." in 1947.
shareMiss was used afaik, not so sure about the short form, but that would be an acceptable anacronyms for me. I have more issues of their depiction of Halloween in catholic Italy. Maybe I am wrong and that was already a thing back then, but I have my doubts, as All Saints Day is quite a big thing for Catholics, which clashes with Halloween. I doubt the nuns would have allowed a pagan celebration.
shareI wondered that too. Also, were those real nuns or Halloween costumes?
shareAhhh, ok, they could be of course just costumes (nurses and doctors). But I thought the kids were from an orphanage (not sure, was irritated by camera angles). They showed also Afro-American kids, so maybe it was just kids of American soldiers.
shareBut All Saints Day doesn’t clash with Halloween. Although your Catholicism and mine might be very different. I’m from New England and some American Catholics I meet from the rest of the country have some ideas that strike me as more Protestant than Catholic.
Post-war Italy, on the other hand, who knows, but it doesn’t have any bearing on the movie. Considering the magic lantern show was narrated in English. It’s not like the kids went trick or treating via gondola.
