(Upon request, this is a reloaded verson of the original video)
Sophia Loren is the one major Italian star who defined Hollywood in the 50s and 60s with her beauty and charisma. Her most famous leading partners were Cary Grant and Marcello Mastroianni. The movies in this video include: Too Bad She’s Bad, The Pride and the Passion, The Key, Houseboat, Heller in Pink Tights, The Millionairess, Two Women, Yesterday Today and Tomorrow, The Fall of the Roman Empire, and A Countess from Hong Kong.
I thank my friend Claudia who made some of the clips for this video. The two main songs are Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by The Platters and A Chi sung by Fausto Leali.
I uploaded Gina Lollobrigida’s Aria right after they are contemporaries and rivals. Check out Gina Lollobrigida - Aria.
