This movie was so influential to my life and career, that in my recent book I just completed "I Drink on the Job: A Refreshing Perspective on Wine" I actually reference the "spaghetti and meatballs" dialogue! This move was before its time, "foodie" was too early in the U.S. vocabulary - true "Foodie" classic, if you cook, drink wine or love food, put this in your repertoire!
