NB: "Padre Padrone" recreates the real life attempts of Gavino Ledda to escape his cruel father and life as a shepherd to educate himself. "Attacone" stars Franco Citti as the title character, a pimp. "We Have a Pope" tells the story of a newly chosen pope who has second thoughts about his new responsibilities. "My Voyage to Italy" is Martin Scorsese's excellent documentary about Italian cinema. Dying composer Von Aschenbach memorably dyes his hair black to appear more youthful in "Death in Venice".
42--Branch Rickey was the Brooklyn Dodger exec who brought Jackie Robinson into the big leagues.
JR was my absolute favorite ballplayer. OK I was a pre-teen - and born in 1942 - and deeply touched by the disgusting treatment of black people - but still.
I'm pretty sure none of the above influenced me to vote you 5/5!!

My fave was Jackie's teammate, Duke Snider. [I birthed in '49.]

I met the Duke once! ... AND Mickey Mantle!! [I know, I know - a treacherous thing to do for a Dodger fan] Must've been about 10 or 11.
