I knew that Ray had been a big fan of spaghetti westerns, but I was surprised when Ray's coffin entered the church to the theme from 'The good, the bad and the ugly'. It did make me smile, but that was typical Ray.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162015419341845693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-82378171617178605232021-11-12T13:35:45.017+00:002021-11-12T13:35:45.017+00:00Yes, DJ, Sophia Loren was/is stunning.

It's a compilation of film clips with Loren's many leading men (I believe Marlon Brando wept and bled so unobtainable she was to him). And watch out for the little boy she dances with.
