This kind of reminded me of the Greek love dramas I used to watch when I was younger. Though I don't remember the age gaps, which surely must have existed in many of those movies too. It was all about love. In this case that's not entirely true. Esepecially for the female main character in this. Sophia Loren had a reputation as a person, which one cannot seem to be able to distinguish from some of her roles.
What can she do though? She had the looks, it's not like she isn't or wasn't able to play anything else. Which I think she's proving even now in a recent production on Netflix. I haven't seen that one yet, but just from some flashes of the trailer one can tell, she has not lost her touch. And speaking of which, her touch is something two men crave here. One older, the other one younger. With all the teasing and all the other stuff happening too. A drama that will touch some and will others indifferent. But you can't blame the movie for not keeping it real amongst all the fun it has ...
