Happy 80th Birthday, Sophia. Some great clips here - I love that mambo from WOMAN OF THE RIVER, 1954.., and, below, clips from the 1955 SCANDAL IN SORRETO, aka PANE, AMORE, E ... . (now winging its way to me, but in Italian only!).
For UK
viewers, Sky Arts 1 has a new documentary with interviews "Sophia,
Yesterday Today & Tomorrow" which they will be screening a few times
over the weekend, along with THE SUNFLOWER, not the best of her De
Sica-Mastroianni collaborations, but I have not seen it since its release, when
it was curiously old-fashioned back in the late 60s.
I may re-watch some of her
less-seen items like HELLER IN PINK TIGHTS or THAT KIND OF WOMAN, or some of
her early Italian films like LUCKY TO BE A WOMAN or THE SIGN OF VENUS and I
never tire of her and Peck in ARABESQUE. I am finally getting to see the 1955
SCANDAL IN SORRENTO (PANE, AMORE, E ...) but only in Italian!
