| User ReviewKamruzzaman KThis is the best romantic movie. You should really see this movie. Althoug its an old movie and dont have modern love material. But its one of the best movie of Sophia Loren. You must see this movie. |
| User ReviewGreg WI never saw him again. A young Italian couple fall in unexpected love and she steals the playboy's heart. They have an amazing life and marriage. However, World War II hits their country hard and the young man is whisked into a terrible battle in Siberia where he is lost and never seen from again. The military presumes he's dead. She goes on an amazing search for true love. "Didn't we already get married?" Vittorio De Sica, director of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow; The Voyage; After the Fox; A Place for Lovers; Marriage Italian Style; Two Women; and The Roof; delivers Sunflowers. The storyline for this picture was excellent, well paced, and brilliantly portrayed. The cast delivers remarkable performances and includes Sophia Loren and Mastroianni. "I'll take the scorpions over marriage." I recently came across this on Netflix and added it to my queue. I saw Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow and thought it was okay with a similar cast and the same director. This was infinitely better and easily my favorite Loren film. I thought she delivered her character well and this tale is well told. I strongly recommend seeing this underrated classic. "Where can you take me with this tiny creature?" Grade: A |
| User ReviewRoberta Wa beautiful dramatic film with the legendary Sophia Loren gracing the screen |

| User ReviewAnowar HUnforgotten love story!! ! had seen many years a go but steel I remember strong love,sad and the Happiness and war can do human life!! |
| User ReviewPrivate UVery good, though surpsingly melodramatic for a De Sica Loren-Mastroianni affair. Rather similar to the story of Un Long Dimanche Des Fiancailles, tells the story of a man who leaves his wife to go to WWII and never comes back - but she is convinced he's alive and moves Heaven and Earth to get information. |
| User ReviewAkira WI like very much. I felt the cruelty of War. |
| User ReviewJomel CI alwys wanted to go that sunflower field. Which i did in 1991. |
| User ReviewEvo-- MAlthought it's a love movie, make 36++ years ago, it's still the best or one the best that I have seen. What one's find good so long along still remained unchanged is a movie worth watching, even it only rated by my chioce, I hope I will not be that far off. |
