Life is Beautiful got better press than any other foreign film I can recall
in years, so I am not surprised, though the Bijou folk may be, that this
film is doing well here in little old Chattanooga. A more pressing issue in
this town seems to be why people arrive so late for any event. We were very
impressed that the Elton John concert did not wait for the normal 30 %
latecomers and began on time.

My main complaint at the Bijou is that they tend either to not understand
how to use their sound equipment, or they choose to ignore that patrons
have to struggle to hear.
