Just been watching The Kentuckian with Burt Lancaster. Havent seen it in 50 years but it is well worth a watch if you get a chance.
One of the key scenes in the film sees Burt humiliated when he sends a fresh water pearl to the President. He thinks that they are valuable and the whole town laughs at him when he finds out they are worthless.
Ive always remembered that fresh water pearls have no value since then.
Its strange how some facts become more accessible when you sugar the pill a bit.
Northside 777 is another film that taught me stuff. How lie detectors work is one of them.
Have you ever watched a film and learned something ?
