Description
Rome provides the splendid backdrop for this comedy about life and love among crooks. Sophia Loren as Lina, in the first of her enormously popular comedies of the 50s, also provides pleasant visual stimulation. Vittorio De Sica plays Lina’s dad, a veteran purse snatcher nearing retirement age. Marcello Mastroianni shines as the clumsy cab driver who is convinced that only one thing will cure our heroine: matrimony. (Italy, 1954) Directed by Alessandro Blasetti, subtitled.
