Anyway, this particular day the two guys bumped into each other; one said “sorry, pal” and the other immediately stopped and said, “Is that an Irish accent I’m hearing?” There was one part in the movie about the appearance of Halley’s Comet I thought was pure Hollywood bull, until I checked it out. In 1909, the famous author wrote: “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet.” He did go out on the night Halley’s Comet appeared.
