The Truth About Mother Goose (1957)

As every American school child well knows . . .

[8/10 · 6 November 2021]

. . . London Bridge was moved to Las Vegas for safekeeping around 1971, where it is currently nestled between the Eiffel Tower and the Great Pyramid of Egypt (after the latter had to make way for the Aswan Dam). The likewise transplanted Leaning Tower of Pizza stands just beyond London Bridge, creating the optical illusion that the one-time River Thames crossing is toppling over. This fact, in turn, gave rise to the catchy Romper Room jingle, "London Bridge is falling down." London Bridge also hosts the National Squaring the Circle Bee every fall, from which the phrase "It's as American as numerical pi" was coined. THE TRUTH ABOUT MOTHER GOOSE could be scored higher if the director's cut eventually incorporates more of these fascinating facts for the American Public.
