Is it the lighting or the makeup?


Sophia Loren's face looked weird, too tan and powdered at the same time. The others look that way, too, but she's got it the worst.

I agree. She looked like she was 40 in the movie when she was only in her 20's when the movie was made.

Maybe they wanted her to look closer to Cary Grant's age.

Watching it right now, and you are right, their coloring looks off.
