Sophia Loren: Get Rita/Two Women 1 review
Sophia Loren
Bci / Eclipse, 2006
Oh Sophia
These were two very different films. Get Rita was a funny romp and Two Women was a serious film. Both were enjoyable. I bought this set for Two Women. In 1961 Sophia Loren won an Oscar for this Italian wartime drama. It is simply a great film.

Lost but Found
Seems that this Wayne/Loren film has been lost for many years from lists of their best work. Although it is not in the best 10% for either, I really enjoyed everything about the film and found it entertaining from beginning to end. I also disagree with another comment here on Amazon about John ...

Loren and Quinn in rousing Western backstage tale
+ Heller in Pink Tights 1960
Entertaining western comedy with the ever-lovely Sophia Loren. Anthony Quinn has a great role as Tom Healy, the manager of a touring Western theatrical troupe who is always trying to keep his star actress Angela Rossini (Loren) under control.

Operation Crossbow21 reviews
Sophia Loren, George Peppard
Warner Home Video, 2006
Don't say action-packed
+ Just Off the Bullseye
+ Operation Crossbow
Although this movie is great, action-packed is not the right words. The movie tells how three British spies infiltrated the German rocket development site for the V-1 and V-2. It has a wonderful cast including George Peppard as the main character. This movie is mostly based on fact and a great deal ...

Fox Lorber, 1999
Better than three stars
+ The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth(and Sophia)
Nobody seems to have reviewed this film for the last 5 years, so here goes. This play is a curious hybrid: a blunt political and satirical message promoted via haute couture, the uniquely gorgeous Loren, and the hyper-talented Peter Sellers. There are also a large number of very able English ...

Sophia Loren 4-Film Collection (Neapolitan Carousel / Attila / Madame Sans-Gene / Sunflower)3 reviews

Attractive set for a legendary film star-Sophia Loren
+ SUNFLOWER
The four films included in this attractively packaged set are rare indeed, so for this Sophia fan to finally own them, is a wonderful privilege. The film transfers to DVD are bright and clean, and I was impressed given the age of some of these foreign films. On that note,
The films are presented ...

Better Than I Expected
Everything the other reviewers have said is true, so there's not too much to add. I will say, however, that I was impressed with the sets and costumes, which were far more sumptuous (albeit tacky) than I had expected. And Loren and Maxwell (what bizarre casting!) are fabulous lip-synchers and ...

Lovely movie.

This movie is wonderful. It is a drama (with a happy ending) and is a beautiful view of Italians in America. It is watching a real person struggling and trying to overcome all the hardships of life.

-1 Star for quality.
Very disappointed in the quality of the DVD. My wife and I saw this movie when it opened-great story, directing and acting and the photography was outstanding.
Amazon should be ashamed to put such a poor quality reproduction up for sale.

A breath of scandal is an excellent movie.I looked for this movie in all the shops and could not find it. Amazon.com had it and I have been totally satisfied. Sophia Loren is excellent in this movie. It is refreshing to be able to see old movies and not have all the violence and sex that are in the ...
