One look at the list of star names at the top of this page and you may have
had the same initial reaction that Cranky did when he saw the black and
white on a printed page. Tea With Mussolini suggests by its very name that
it is a perfect match for the blue haired brigade. Cranky isn't talking
punks, he's talking grandmothers and old folks. Even the presence of Cher,
whose work runs just as cold as it does hot, on the list wasn't an
incentive. Nor does Cranky hit the art house circuit to see foreign films,
though the name Franco Zeffirelli is not unknown to him.
