Wanderlost (2016)
“Fenton gives only an abbreviated talk the next day because Sam has found a DVD of To Catch a Thief and we pop it into the bus’s media system. It has two things going for it: it’s Mary-approved, and it takes place right in the area we’re driving through.
In the film Cary Grant and Grace Kelly go zooming along the cliffside roads in their convertible, but our bus takes things a little more cautiously. This makes me exceedingly grateful, especially after Emma tells me that in real life Grace Kelly... died when her car crashed on these very same treacherous roads.
For most of the trip we’re inside the mountains. No sooner do we emerge from one tunnel than we are entering the next. There are approximately a hundred and ten of them between La Spezia and Monaco, which I know because Bento told Sam, who is now more than happy to translate for me. It turns out Bento has as much information about this area as Mr. Fenton and a wicked sense of humor. Who knew?
While I love Bento, I do not love Monaco.MoreLess
