A
certain gentleman (who requested he remain anonymous),
suggested that we pass this one on to allwho happen
to scan this page. His exact words were: "Boy, those
Italians know how to throw a grand feast!" We express
our complete satisfaction with the appraisal of this
gentleman by presenting this link. The storyline, the
soundtrack,
the feast for the eyes, the subtle wit... we don't know
what we liked best. Needless to say, we agreed you should
know about it- that is, if you don't already. Oh, and
did we mention Louis Prima, Claudio Villa...? Our thanks
go out to a certain gentleman. (Also available @

Charles
Dickens is famous for the characters he created and his
descriptions. He spent entire days walking the London
streets from which he derived his characters and scenes.
In this work he outlines some entertaining characteristics
of the `gents' of his day, including: THE BASHFUL YOUNG
GENTLEMAN, THE OUT-AND-OUT YOUNG GENTLEMAN, THE VERY FRIENDLY
YOUNG GENTLEMAN, THE MILITARY YOUNG GENTLEMAN, THE POLITICAL
YOUNG GENTLEMAN, THE FUNNY YOUNG GENTLEMAN, THE YOUNG
LADIES' YOUNG GENTLEMAN Intended as a tongue-in-cheek
handbook for young ladies, this book will certainly amuse
any modern reader. (Includes illustrations and a voice
reading by an actor) If you're not already a Dickens fan,
you will be after this!
