Surprising that there aren't any post for this terrific film, it was great to see sophia in a role where her beauty wasn't the star.

I'm just watching it now - I recorded it the other day. A good film, despite the weird music now and then!

The daughter though - what a prize bitch! She deserved that slap and a good few more besides. Utterly unlovable - I felt sorry for her poor husband-to-be.

I agree. I'm not into melo-dramas but I liked this one. Two of the greatest actors of all time. Loren and Quinn, need I say more.

I really liked this film, Anthony Quinn did such a great job. Really made the point about people thinking only about themselves and what they can do to other people because of it.
