Could Vittorio de Sica possibly have directed it? De Sica, who made The Bicycle Thief? Even a director who had made no movies would have a hard time making one as bad as this.

Rated: 1.5/4

ith Vittorio De Sica's direction, the eye-pleasing atmosphere of the Italian Alps and Marcello Mastroianni and Faye Dunaway a good team as a pair of ill-starred lovers, there's enough pull.

One of the best laughs is watching Dunaway working on the subject of despair.

All is lethargy, inanity, a yawning prettiness.

If it weren't for the gorgeous location shots of the Italian Alps, I would have dozed off.

Overheated dramatics in absolutely breathtaking locations. Faye is ravishing and clothed in the height of 60's fashion.
