It was winter 1945 the war was just over. I opened my barber shop, put on my gown and sat down. The first customer of the afternoon came in carrying a gust of cold from outside. He was a foreigner. I never seen him before. In this part. He asked for a shave and we talked as I shave him, he expressed himself different. He say I'm Italian. I came and that you shave me because of your name. It's really beautiful. Literally. He said because Bellissima mean beautiful. What's your name? I asked him Capra Frank Capra. I remember he says, and I remember I told him frankly, I can't say the same to you because you know, his name means goat. We both laughed. We also talked about cinema, but he was most interested in Seneca Falls.
