Dragging up a literal decades old concept as an alternative interpretation of Al's line in Play It Again, Seymour recently struck me.
"...a redhead who could make Father Flanagan forget Boys Town."
And Al responds, "My first wife was just like that.”
When we meet Beth, she's a brunette. Conventional theories have been that she was dyeing her hair red when Al met her. But I posit that perhaps Al isn't thinking about Beth's hair color at all--but that she was a beauty capable of captivating a priest.
