I am a huge old movie fan, but somehow I don't like Sophia Loren movies which is why I kept skipping this one every time it pops up on KZbin. Then your "I enjoyed every single frame of this movie" comment bought me and now I thank you a thousand times! Yes, I enjoyed every moment of the movie, too. Thanks again.

Movies about relationships that had moral value and you could learn from them, feel emotion. Now all CGI removed that humane aspect of the movie industry.

There were plenty of very violent, gory films made at that time , 1958, like Touch of Evil , Horror of Dracula and more! Google it, please.

[@polara01]

This movie honestly caught me off guard. It has one of the most unique stories that takes you on a very interesting and personal journey into people's lives that I didn't expect. It has superb realism and incredible acting, and I must say at least momentarily restored my faith in mankind, considering we are now all living in an Orwellian nightmare so this was the perfect antidote... at least for the moment. Anthony Quinn's character has such a beautiful energy and optimism, you can't help but feel his every emotion and what he is going through and Sophia Loren delivers an equally riveting performance that makes you feel like you are actually there with them and she is the perfect counterpart for him here. They both should have at least been nominated for an Oscar for their incredibly moving and heartwarming performances. The young man who played her son was also incredible and adorable in his role as well as the actress who played his daughter. Everybody was great here it truly was an amazing production. The director has to get a nod here as well as the movie had great flow and the camera definitely caught so much of the emotional energy between these characters. A real tearjerker at the end. A masterpiece for the ages!

[@greekveteran2715]

We are not living an "Orwellian nightmare" we simply live the Apocalypse. Trust me, I speak perfecttly Greek and have studies Ancient Greek for most of my life.I also study the original handscripts, that later the Masonς changed and now sell it as "Bibles" All the content on all versions even the Greek ones, are all changed with one purpose, to mislead humanity and hide the Truth. Most of the true profecies and what the original Apocalypse says. have almost all fullfiled.We are not at the beginning of the end, we are AT the end. The one world dictatorship, of the AntcΗriςτ, has already been established. These events, will lead to the final phase of WWIII,where they will introduce him,. as the only savior of humanity. They already did that,through many King's and polititiant's speeches,like King Charles a couple of years ago, where he clearly said, that one king rules the whole world and we have to trust him...That's exactly what the Bible says.The first years,.Goid said on his message, he would rule behind the scene... Isn't that TRUE?? I and many people who kept their logic, see it is true. I only speak about facts.

This film covered some sensitive issues with compassion & empathy. Anthony Quinn always was a great actor, Sophia Loren proved herself to be his equal. Their scenes together were so warm & real, at times they made me smile. It was so easy to feel sympathy for the children of the main characters, & it didn't get mushy to do it. I've never seen this film before I'm glad I have. The positivity of the film was shown withAnthony Quinn's character's belief that, we all deserve to see & believe in rainbows. Now I'm being mushy, but that's how this film has made me feel.

I've never seen this movie. Have always been a fan of Sophia and Anthony. Whenever they try to make Sophia look dowdy, it's just not possible, she could wear a burlap bag, and still be one of the most beautiful women on Earth. Anthony was totally adorable in this movie.

Sophia Loren and Anthony Quinn played their roles with such sensitivity . I bet many will be surprised to learn that Loren only turned twenty four during filming. For me she always had a beautiful yet mature face, for her age. Today, she still looks amazing - 90 in September! (2024) I also read that she acquired her scarred chin from flying shrapnel during WW2!

Gosh this movie. The plot is simple and yet the characters are SO complex. Mary’s dad developed a savior complex after losing his wife since in his mind he could not save her. That’s why he is willing to take on a temperamental woman with a child and a past in a time when that kinda thing was openly discouraged, he was willing to marry Rose and sweep her off her feet, adopting her son to get him out of the work camp. Mary may have a mental illness like her mother did, which is why she makes decisions that don’t really make any sense to anyone but her. I wish this movie was more popular so it would be reacted to by Cinema Therapy or someone who could provide further insight into the varying personalities, dynamics and resulting conflict. There is so much to be learned in these old movies most people just don’t know.

[@ARue-tru]

Sophia Loren is my all time favourite actress, she is beautiful and can act well, has a very expressive face, a rare good treasure. When Sophia's eyes filled with tears, she looked beautiful with heartfelt emotion. And Anthony Quinn seemed to be affected by Sophia's acting talent, he played his role with a special tenderness just by being in her presence and acting with her.

The black and white era of movies made it such that it added to the atmosphere of the movie whether it be a film noir/crime or a very sad story as well as the nuances and lighting made its impact. Two very good actors - Sophia became an icon as for Anthony I believe never got the status he deserved. He always had a strong presence on screen and had an attractive demeanour about him. Both talented and represented their characters extremely well in a time where simple stories became poignant by their acting. Thank you for this as I don't recall seeing this one before.

[@davidlyga6259]

I was born in 1950 and followed her whole career. It also helps that I am half Italian. Sophia Loren is the only actor who has an equal capacity to perform both comedic and dramatic roles to the highest quality. Her performance here, even the nuances, is superb, and she seems to enhance the other personas as well (Mary and Ralph). Quinn's performance needs no introduction. In sum, this movie is superlative and, unlike the trash put out today (with the exception of Meryl Streep). Here, there is an utter dedication towards presenting a story that both seems real and is real. Unfortunately, this is now seen as a bygone undertaking. One of the biggest reasons that so many are NOW praising this movie is because, back when it was produced, this high production quality was the norm. NOW, the younger generation is seeing that that which was, at the time, being knocked as boring, trivial, and pedestrian, are finally seeing it as the masterpiece that it is primarily because they are now so starved for witnessing actual acting, not hyperbole. - David Lyga
