When a nun and a communist fall in love, it's shocking. Unless it's Sophia Loren, in which case, who could resist?
Miss Loren, having finally established herself as a fine actress a decade earlier, had been appearing in serious, adult roles..... but of course, the definition of "serious and "adult" in the movies had changed, and instead of considering issues of the world, theology and the problems thereof, the question under study here is are Sophia and Adriano Celentano going to be knocking boots. Working from his own script, Alberto Lattuada has concocted an engaging work, with a fine mixture ofpractical problems and sour comedy.
Mostly, though, it's an excuse to look at Miss Loren, just shy of 50, and still angelically beautiful in a nun's habit.
