Sirens - I'd forgotten about this scene. How many scenes does this make for Hugh Grant? Three? I wonder about the shoes she was wearing. I was under the impression that many of the women's shoes of that time period were lace ups, almost like ankle length boots.
Grandi Magazzini - Very nice scene! I particularly like the look of Laura Antonelli. She looks so demure, so prim...you'd never guess what she was doing to that...well, doorknob looking guy.
Laura is wearing black slingbacks, and not much of a sling at that. It looks like the strap barely wraps around her heel. Is it just me or are the nylons she's wearing reeinforced toe?

They don't show her remove her shoe, but you can see it lying on its side between the guy's shoes. Can we assume that she used his leg to pull down the sling?
Nice movement of her foot up his leg. You know they filmed that entire undertable sequence in one take. It would be nice to see it uncut.
I didn't download Barbarians at the Gate.
