Grazie ANIA!
Today was a truly gratifying moment in my career as a teacher. Your send off took me completely by surprise and genuinely moved me. Your generosity astounds me and I especially appreciate the thought and effort that went into the card. You have been listening to my pop culture witterings after all!
So here is a quiz for you. Taken from designer Stephen Wildish's Film Alphabet series. Can you name all the 1970s films in the poster below?
