Interestingly, in the fall of 1978, when "Mork & Mindy" premiered, there was a Time Magazine article about Robin Williams, and it stated that he was born in EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND. I remember it very well. Hard to believe that a major news magazine would get such a basic fact wrong. It doesn't seem at all likely that Time pulled that place name out of thin air.
Perhaps his mother, Laurie McLaurin, had Scottish connections (family in Scotland).
Regarding Rod Taylor, many Australians also have Scottish connections---ancestors who emigrated from that country.
But Rod Taylor was SO sexy, and it's always nice to see Doris Day! It's upbeat 1960's escapism. It was an optimistic era, in spite of everything, and Doris Day seemed to brighten every film she was in.
I agree!
But a "clearly wealthy woman" would likely have many friends to protect and advise her. Oscar undoubtedly singled out unprotected women.
But Cabiria was fortunate that, even after that devastating betrayal by Oscar, she wasn't totally friendless. She still had Wanda, who cared enough about her to say something like, "I've never met this fiance of yours."
Cabiria has great resilience, or she would have committed suicide after that last scene with Oscar. She could have drowned herself right there, but she managed to go on in spite of everything. Her home was so important to her, and she lost that as well as her money and dreams of the future. Maybe not being totally friendless is *in part* what gave her the strength to go on.
I quite agree.
Or Wicklow?
There would have been more than a touch of cruelty in that, and Wick was not that kind of person.

There's no reason why they would censor it.
You should hear Joan Baez's ethereal version of "Plaisir d'Amour." It is the best rendition possible!!! It was recorded around 1960. She sings the first and last two lines in French and the rest in English, and the English lyrics are better than those in this film.
Joan Baez had the voice of an angel. She was truly one of the greatest singers of the 20th century.
