I am not aware of many 10 year olds who persuade such true affection from all around them, a joie de vivre, a profound knowledge of the Italian language and tremendous ease and comfort in a foreign country. I consider these aspects most appealing, mature, and far ahead of most young women I know here in the states.
Retarded? If you actually know someone who is afflicted with mental regression you observe that even simple comprehension is extremely limited and a very narrow hope for a semblance of normal life, i.e. married with children.
I was insulted that they could buy off the Catholic Church to speed up the marriage without conversion and the emphasis on the dowry and general concept of Italian ignorance. However, having visited that country and inheriting Napolitan blood I agree, superficial is the captivating summary save for the great artists.
Perhaps this situation would prove workable given the supposition of money takes care of responsibilities and joy lasts just a bit longer with limited stress.
Italian men tend to be lustful wanderers and fortunately she may never notice his attentions elsewhere. Ignorance is most blissful and we root for this couple to pursue happiness for a lifetime. I chose to leave it at that and mother and father could resume their life together, smoking till death soon to part.
The backdrop was magnificent of Florence, Venice, Rome and carried the weaker moments of the film. Hamilton's accent is so inferior to Mimieux's that is was laughable but delightful to see him sans smug smile and ubiquitous tan.
High recommend for Olivia fans, her performance was subtle, sweet, demur but valiantly hopeful. Love is a many splendid thing and this film tempts to prove it is available to all who seek it.
