@Xander Crews, Oppo Hunter: Like a German man, instead of the Italian woman she is. But that does not render my point moot.

@Irishman — AARGH!: 150 years of the existence of Italy, no Ford F150 sold in Europe... where's the problem, officer?

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Its title is One, Two, Three. Directed by Billy Wilder, starring James Cagney and Horst Bucholz. One of my favourite films ever, including high-speed driving ina Mercedes 300 "Adenauer".
