Ginger & Fred (1986)

Antonietta Patriarca: Mrs. Silvestri

Quotes 

• Show host : Heroic individuals have always existed. I place in this category an obscure housewife who agreed to experience, for pay, life without television for one month. After signing a contract with us, our technical team thoroughly sealed her set and removed her antenna from the roof. Her house was isolated from any and all television reception. You're saying, "Impossible! I couldn't believe such a person exists." We present Pietruzza Silvestri!

  [television studio audience claps] 

  Show host : Would you do it again?

  Mrs. Silvestri : Never again! Never again! It was horrible! We were paid a tidy sum, but that money is cursed! It's not fair to do these things to poor people, especially when there are children and the elderly.
