:06:01
Luisetta and Paolino, both always watching TV!
:06:04
The dancing grand mother, compliments!
:06:07
You and your partner Albert Lay
used to imitate the famous dancers...

:06:10
Be careful, you should know that
Albert Lay is not his real name.

:06:15
His real name was...
It's Pippo Botticella.

:06:19
But you used to imitate the dancers
Fred Astaire e Ginger Rogers.

:06:22
Sure, it was the best part
of our show.

:06:24
Since this imitation
was much appreciated,

:06:28
our manager decided we should
be called Ginger and Fred.

:06:33
Wen did you stop, madam?
:06:36
Twenty?
Twenty five?

:06:38
Come on, the more you confess, the more
your coming back will be a big news!

:06:42
You don't have to convince me!
We were so popular.

:06:46
Even today in Santa Margherita,
where I live,

:06:47
sometimes people stop me
because they remember about us.

:06:50
Why did you accept? Aren't you afraid
to disappoint your old fans?

:06:57
To tell the truth, I don't know
why I did accept.

:07:00
Maybe to make my nephews happy,
they insisted, my friends...

:07:03
and then there's this television myth
calling us all!

:07:07
Anyway, I'm here.
:07:10
I've always loved risking. I'm not
the kind who retreats.

:07:15
Pippo says the real artist
is like the wolf:

:07:19
when he feels the call of the wild...
:07:22
Do you want to kill me?
:07:24
In Rome you can't survive!
:07:35
Already arrived?
:07:36
No, we're waiting for
the heroic admiral.

:07:39
An admiral?
Why? what did he do?

:07:42
What did he do?
Admiral Athos Aulenti.

:07:45
He got a gold medal.
:07:46
At the risk of his own life
he went down to the engine room,

:07:49
abandoned by sailors
while fire was spreading.

:07:52
he saved the ship and the whole crew
from the explosion

:07:55
that would have caused ruins and victims
to the city of Taranto,

:07:58
the ship was in the harbour there.
