Aconteceu na Itália

Fortunately, the unbearable Mario Carotenuto only appears for about 1 minute. The film is not great from any point of view, except that we see some of the beauties of Italy, Venice, Pisa, Rome. Although Gabriele Frezetti and Vittorio De Sica also appear, they do not change the situation with anything, insignificant roles. The one who usually steals the film and proves for the infinite time how big he was and that in everything he appears he turns everything into gold, is the only Alberto Sordi. But, unfortunately, he doesn't change much either, because he appears very little, his role is much too small. The 5 stars are just for him.

Fairly enjoyable yarn about 2 hitch hiking girls (1 German, 1 French) who catch a ride with a pompous Britisher (June Laverick). Their car runs out of fuel and they wind up pushing it to a service station. The car gets away on them and winds up in the sea. British girl hitch hikes along with her newfound friends for the rest of the movie.

The three girls meet various voice overed Italian gigilos along the way, finally ending up with respective boyfriends/fiance's and they all live happily ever after.

Cinematograpgy is not wasted. The director makes full use of the magnificent panoramic scenery of the Mediterranean.

I wouldn't call the movie a comedy by any stretch, but it's a light hearted, non-serious, easy on the eye look at a group of girls and their travels through Europe of the late 50's.
