Did anyone notice....

... the excessive scenery shots? Why did we need so many shots of the villa, or houses, or the church. The director would zoom in on a statue or flowers or something and just look at it for a minute, followed by a shot of the side of a building. If these little scenes were removed I think the movie would be 45 minutes long.
And then at the end they wasted time by showing the characters walking after each other over and over.
And I read what everyone else is saying about the acting and the "Story" so I won't even comment about all that.

It is what you call a low budget movie. Possibly the person doing the filming it is their first time in the business. So they have to learn some where you know. I did not mind it because I am use to movies like this and I loved it too!

Since the early 1960s most US/Canadian films have tried to be at least 90 minutes long so they might have a second life on broadcast television. It's been less an issue since around 2000, because there's less network money/audience involved. Still, the over use of slow-mo, montage, scenic shots, silent reflections by the leads, and "bonus" content under the credits are all hints that the producers knew they needed to stretch out a thin story. Even the B through Z grade movie circuits and basic cable outlets have there minimum standards.

I bet the cutaways are there for two reasons: to pad the film out to feature length, and because if they showed any more t*ts they'd have to ret*tle it T*t Party, which would lessen the chances they'd ever show it on TCM. AMC, maybe...
