Did I say I wasn't a Sophia Loren fan, I think I did
I'll admit I've been wrong about her. I'm not a fan of her American movies but she's a classy act in Italian movies. Last week I saw Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow tonight I saw Marriage Italian Style.
She's good, fiesty. In Marriage Italian Style she plays a girl who was brought up in the slums of Naples and resorted to making a living during the war selling her body in a brothel.
I can't help thinking of when we were in Naples in April. The city didn't look too much different to what was on screen. The taxi driver was proud that Sophia was from Naples. I wonder how much of the impoverished background she had. She went to Hollywood to make films but she stayed pretty true to Italian films too.
I was even mistaken in thinking Sophia Loren wasn't beautiful. She can be, if she's photographed right and her eyes. They're gorgeous.
