In this madcap 1965 screen adaptation of Romain Gary's popular novel of rogues, anarchists and lovers in turn-of-the-century Europe. Sophia Loren stars as the elegant Lady L, who's had a lot suitors in her time. Lady recalls her affair with Armand (Paul Newman), a bomb-wielding revolutionary looking to assassinate a Russian prince. However, when he leaves the country on a mission, Lady soon finds herself in the company of a British lord who just might be Armand's only hope of freedom after he's captured by the police. The catch: Lady is expected to marry the lord. [More]

Experiment of starting and ending this pic with Sophia Loren as an 80-year-old, an alleged aristocrat with a somewhat simpering tedious voice, doesn't come off.

This is one of those cute little films made by a cute little cadre of actors with nothing much else to do.

A silly, forgettable sex comedy that is a star vehicle for Sophia Loren.

A glossy and very silly period costume piece.

Whatever the causes of the minor disatisfactions inherent in this film, its major rewards are due to Peter Ustinov's sensitive conception and superb direction.
