  • Also note that "President Jimmy Carter" in the film is an actor and the "secret service" are Dolton policeman--had me fooled.

  • So Peter Cavallini was born in 1879. That is amazing. I'm assuming there was some connection with the Chuck Cavallini restaurant in Midlothian.

  • Steve: We're getting the film to the Cavallini family, so will see. Chuck opened an ice cream place in Midlothian around the 1930's, which evolved into the famous restaurant. My guess is they were brothers.

  • My Maternal Great-Grandmother's maiden name was Cavallini. Her family were wine makers from Livorno, Italy.
