                    [Summary] => Have you heard the anecdote about the film critic who wrote a "smashing review?"


It goes like this: After writing a rather critical review, she meets the director in a party. The guy, then cradling a guitar, looks up, sees her, stands up and hits her with the guitar.

It seems like the stuff you’d see only in the celluloid flicks, but here’s the catch: it really happened – to an esteemed critic, no less!

Today, Christa Maerker looks back at that incident with fond amusement.
