It's a little damning to our times to call The Naked Gun, the delightfully stupid 1980s-1990s film series, "ahead of its time," but here we are.

Elsewhere today, Savannah Walsh speaks to Amanda Knox, whose new TV show sets out to tell her harrowing story on her own terms; and Bess Levin looks at reports that Pete Hegseth may have elected office in mind. |
In 2007, 20-year-old Amanda Knox was studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, when her roommate Meredith Kercher was killed. Investigators focused on the quirky Knox and her then boyfriend of roughly a week, Raffaele Sollecito, leading the media to push a false narrative that the murder was some sort of sex-torture mishap—led by a woman the tabloids called "Foxy Knoxy." Italian courts convicted Knox and Sollecito twice of Kercher's murder, before finally exonerating them in 2015. |

As longtime aide-de-camp to studio mogul Jack Warner, Richard Gully became the favored ally and companion of golden age Hollywood's elite: "I've always been at the right place, and known the right people, at the right time," he once said.
Before his death in 2000, he broke decades of discreet silence about legends including Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, JFK, Bugsy Siegel, Aly Khan, and Cary Grant: "After what I've seen and heard, nothing shocks me and nothing surprises me." |
