Yes, Jeff, there is a site with a bunch of Guzzi movies. Most relate to the
older singles. Sheldon Aubut used to maintain it. Can't find it right now.
I'll track him down.

The Harold and Maude reference is close to home for me. That whole scene
where she steals the cops bike is in Fremont, CA my home town. It was the
old Dumbarton Bridge causeway.

Just saw a new one last night. I watched the original 1969 Italian Job with
Michael Caine and Benny Hill and a bunch of original Minis. The chased and
crashed with a bunch of Guzzi Falconi in it.

My favorite is Life is Beautiful or La Vita e Bella. The opening military
parade is led by two SuperAlce which is the model I own.
