Really interesting, thank you! This was the scene that got me thinking: Why does he say "I always wanted to meet an American" like he's speaking his 2nd language? Oh, because Lee Marvin's not speaking Russian! They're speaking English! But those signals don't last consistently through the scene.

I had not heard of the Lemon Fair River! What an amazing name. And Wikipedia tells me maybe it came from "les monts verts"? I love it.

Now I live near the Rideau River in Ontario, which does not freeze over as reliably. It frequently has thick mist over it in the mornings.

The internet never forgets! Or at least, retail catalogues, which seem to be particularly difficult to amend.
