Bend It Like Beckham

Just saw the movie again. Parminder Nagra's character Jess is destined by tradition to marry and become a mother and housewife. But she loves soccer (football) and is good it at. She gets to do what she wants with the help of her coach Joe, her father and her friends Jules and Tony. She didn't build that.

Elizabeth Bishop was allergic to peanuts.

She was in Brazil during the 1964 coup d'état.
