Avanti!

Avanti! is a 1972 American/Italian comedy film produced and directed by Billy Wilder. The film stars Jack Lemmon and Juliet Mills. The screenplay by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond is based on the play of the same title by Samuel Taylor, which had a short run on Broadway in 1968.

Plot

For the past ten years, Baltimore industrialist Wendell Armbruster, Sr. has been spending a month at the Grand Hotel Excelsior in the Island of Ischia on the Bay of Naples, in Italy allegedly to soak in the therapeutic mud baths for which the resort island is known. When he is killed in an automobile accident, his straitlaced son Wendell Armbruster, Jr. journeys to taly to claim his father's body. Upon arrival he discovers his father was not alone in the Fiat he was driving; with him was his British mistress, whose daughter, free-spirited London shop girl Pamela Piggott, also is on the scene, though she clearly knew of their parents' clandestine romance beforehand. Hotel manager Carlo Carlucci attempts to smooth things over, taking on all the arrangements for the body to be taken back to Baltimore in time for burial in just three days time.

Avanti

Avanti (in Italian, meaning ahead, forward, or before; in Sanskrit, the city of Avantī in India, now known as Ujjain) may refer to:

Education

  • Avanti Schools Trust, a Hindu and ISKCON educational charity that runs state-funded Hindu faith schools of the I-Foundation in the United Kingdom
  • Avanti school, any of several state-funded Hindu faith schools in the UK run by the Avanti Schools Trust
  • Krishna Avanti Primary School, Harrow, the first state-funded Hindu faith school in the UK
  • Krishna Avanti Primary School, Leicester, a state-funded Hindu faith school in the UK
  • Avanti! (Italian newspaper)

    Avanti! (meaning "Forward!" in English) is an Italian daily newspaper, born as the official voice of the Italian Socialist Party, published since 25 December 1896. It took its name from its German counterpart Vorwärts, the party-newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany.

    History

    First housed in Rome, Avanti! moved to Milan in 1911. While the paper advocated neutrality on the wake of World War I (which it viewed as an imperialist conflict), it was becoming infused with the militarist and irredentist attitudes of its editor at the time, future Fascist leader Benito Mussolini (who had risen to prominence as an opponent of Filippo Turati during the Italo-Turkish War). Mussolini's dissent caused his ousting from the party, Avanti!'s direction being taken over by Giacinto Menotti Serrati, Mussolini then started his own paper Il Popolo d'Italia with Syndicalist and Republican dissidents from the Socialist Party.

    The paper's headquarters were set on fire by Mussolini's Blackshirts on 15 April 1919, and it was banned by the government in 1926. From that point on, Avanti! was issued as a weekly, and was edited in exile – first in Paris and then in Zürich, at the Ristorante Cooperativo.

    I'm Sorry

    by: Avant

    I know I was wrong and then I feared
    Playin' games with your mind, 'cause I knew you cared
    Walking out of the door, every other night
    And I knew two wrongs wouldn't make a right
    Now things have changed and what you feel is not the same
    I thought we could make ends meet
    But you can't stand no more pain
    And now I know babe, and it is me
    I'm lonely and here is where I want you to be
    A woman like you, is too precious to lose
    And I am confused, what will I do?
    Baby, I love you and
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
    I never knew what true love was
    'Til you left me and now the thought of
    You with someone else, hurts me deeply
    I try to keep those thoughts out my mind
    But I think about you all the time
    Where is our love, I must be out of my mind?
    What else can I do to prove our love to you?
    I'm going crazy baby, and your love made me
    I never should have done you wrong, now I'm sittin' here all alone
    You should feel my pain and for you I'll change
    Can I have a second try? 'Cause without you what am I
    And I know you don't want to see a grown man cry, I'm sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
    I'm sorry, I done you wrong
    And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
    (That's right)
    See I got myself together now
    So you don't have to worry about me runnin' 'round
    (Runnin' around)
    I'm sorry I done you wrong
    And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
    (That's right)
    See I got myself together now
    So you don't have to worry about me runnin' around
    (You don't have to worry no more, babe)
    I'm sorry, I done you wrong
    (I'm sorry)
    And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
    (I'm sorry, I'll be right here, yeah)
    See I got myself together now
    (I'm sorry, so please)
    So you don't have to worry about me runnin' around
    (I'm so sorry)
    I?m sorry, I done you wrong
    And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
    (That?s right)
    See I got myself together now
    So you don?t have to worry about me runnin' 'round
