"ideallic" for "idyllic"

“Years later, present time now, another of Sterling’s men (Paul Valentine) has found Jeff “hiding” in his ideallic setting.” From an on-line description of the great film noir, Out of the Past (1947), with Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas.

About 10,500 g-hits. A perfect eggcorn!
