| User ReviewDonald POh my God, Sophia Loren is a Goddess! Her passion, her eyes. I was in love with her as a teen and as an old man still she is the one! |
| User ReviewTony BCorny-But superb location. Sophia looked great! |
| User Reviewjay nOkay story is boosted by quality performers Clifton Webb and Sophia Loren in her big international breakthrough and dazzling Greek locations all in breathtaking color. |
| User ReviewDoctor SThe very dated adventure/romance set in the Greek Islands. It isn't a bad film but other than some stunning backgrounds & locations this film truly does fall short. Casting for this film was peculiar but the story gets lost a little mid way and it has many pointless scenes pushing a love story between Loren & Ladd despite having little chemistry together. There where so nice scenes here and there but I wish there was more story on the boy on dolphin itself, not a bad film just nothing special. |
| User ReviewAshley Hit´s not her best movie...but i don´t care...it´s a loren movie :) |
