The New Sony Thriller THE TOURIST Reignites our Love of Venice

Venice continues to hold me in it's grasp!

And with the soon to be released thriller THE TOURIST,
partly filmed in Venice, I thought that I would profile the classic Venetian Motor Launch.   It seems to figure prominently in scenes featured in the official movie trailer symbolizing as always, Luxury, Glamor and Risk.  THE TOURIST opens in theatres on December 10, 2010.
