As I have mentioned already I have seen this film a few times on tv but not recently.
Watching it again now I am struck by how the plot is fairly hard to follow and also how beautifil Sophia Loren is.
There is a scene in the film where she makes an unplanned visit to her husband,but he is actually dead,she does not know and she is shocked when the man pretending to be her husband is not him,it becomes obvious that the resistance will have to kill her.
She says to George Peppard,is there anything that I could do to persuade you not to kill me? well frankly most men would think of something.

No her fate was settled. There is nothing that she could have done to have persuaded an intelligence agent not to kill her.

Any men who were stupid enough to think otherwise would not be intelligence agents for very long.

They would soon be DEAD intelligence agents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes but they would have been happy dead intelligence agents.

Happy??? No. Days and weeks of horrific torture would have preceded death.

Sex with Sophia Loren wouldn't have been that bad, would it?

She was silly though. When the first policeman walked in and he said he was her husband I can understand why she was in shock, and before she could do anything he had covered her mouth and the landlady covered for him as the policeman walked out not looking back.

BUT the second time when he said she was safe with him signing the documents about her kids and the policeman walked in, she should have straight up walked out of the room there and then. There would be sod all they could do, and even if they did try to kill her and the policeman, other police would be about and at least she gave her self a chance.

And the whole mission would have failed and the V-3 rocket would have hit New York and killed a few dozen people and maybe the war wouldn't have ended for another year. None of that happened so they had to make it so the Allied spies would succeed. Surely you don't expect logic in a WWII movie made in the 1960s?
