A Bad Movie I Love
14 April 2021
I love everything about this movie. The clothes, her apartment, the innocent middle age son who has no idea she's a prostitute in spite of having just gotten out of the service, the LOUD father who also had sex w/ her, the entire straight male San Francisco population who apparently also had sex with her, Acapulco, the doomed love affair, the torment, the balcony, the white dress, the sea, the birds, the tragedy. What's not to love? Gina Lollobrigida is bodacious beautiful. Anthony Franciosa is ridiculously miscast & daddy Ernest Borgnine is, as mention above, LOUD. It's in glamorous widescreen CinemaScope filmed in lush saturated color cinematography. It's a sexy 60s morality tale treasure. If you are blessed w/ an innate appreciation of Camp, do not miss any chance to watch this movie.
