i agree that this is a wonderful little movie, it almost comes across as an independent film! it is one of the best romantic comedies that i have seen since Doris Day! most current romantic comedies all seemed so forced and unnatural BUT this one is fresh, sweet and very innocent. in real life new love, when it comes to individuals, always arrives to lovers unexpectedly and very passionately and arduously! that is exactly the way this movie delivers love to the audience. this movie--- the whole package, is all so wonderful and delightful. i cannot say enough about it nor can i find exactly the right words to express my enjoyment in watching it. i didn't know just how much i could enjoy old Italian love music, red red lipstick, elbow-length gloves, red flocked wallpaper, corny love peotry, tight Jackie Kennedy dresses, the hairdo called "the flip", guys in dress shirts (and especially unbuttoned just alittle). nothing in this movie is actually new and yet it is all presented in a new way, and this is probably because no other movies of this time period were done this way, so that makes this new even though it is really all very old. sounds confusing? it may sound confusing but wha ti say is true! it is obviously not a high budget film BUT EVERYTHING IN THIS MOVIE WORKS!! even the economy works. i love this movie and i watch it whenever it comes on every chance i get and eventually i will buy it. and oh my! how i love the ending!!! honestly, i did not expect the ending, at least not the way in which it was done! if you have not seen this movie YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH IT!
