Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press 01/22/2019
The picture is a poorly blended mixture of farce, satire, and protest. It is staunchly anti-clerical while it focuses on but only weakly tackles several social problems. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 11/09/2017

04/29/2016 good com-dram starring the italian tracy/hepburn loren & mastroianni See more 10/28/2013 A woman wih problems falls in love with a priest running a local helpline; the two's infatuation develops into a love story. Comedy of dubious taste that takes a shop too cheap at the Catholic Church. It's almost a complete waste of the chemistry between Loren and Mastroianni, though it is hard to understand why they should have wasted their talent on such a weak movie at that point of their career. See more 07/24/2011 A man ought to choose between Duty & Love , already chose one at the end. See more Read all reviews
