Isn't that interesting? I asked him about White Worm once but I can't remember his answer at all. Ronaldo was a Brazilian who came over here in the eighties as an accountant but he's still got a strong accent and is famous for his bon mots: "I was a vegetarian for 12 years, except for bacon sandwiches of course". "If anyone give me another Pizza Margharita, I will slash my wrists". You can see why he's a line producer rather than stand up comedian.

When / if we get Region 1 DVDs sorted, I'll be awarding myself with copies of Nashville, Short Cuts (for a top notch, albeit lengthy, Altman double-bill) and The Conformist. re: White Worm. I watched this as it should have been seen - late at night on Channel 4, and enjoyed it thoroughly. They'd never show it now, never mind any world cinema. A shame. Good question!
