Looped dialogue is distracting.

The credits for this show make no secret of the fact that certain performers' voices were looped, dubbed over with the voices of different actors. I found it a bit distracting to have such obviously Italian actors speaking perfect American English or in a couple of cases, English with an Irish accent. It took me out of the film.

I saw that in the credits also. But during the movie I didn't notice it. The dubbing techniques have greatly improved since 50s and 60s.

I definitely noticed it, and it hurts many of the performances. Since the Italian actors are speaking English, I don't know why at least some of their own voices weren't used.
