REVIEW
Without doubt this is the best film that Sophia Loren ever made (maybe a close contender would be her role in La Ciocciara) and there is sheer magic between her and Marcello Mastroianni. A beautiful script … It is a brilliant film, evocative more than most others of a particular time, subtle, nuanced, a triumph for director Ettore Scola." --The New York Times
