Sophia Loren gets a 10/10: at 26 she's at her playful and provocative peak.
Clark Gable? All the hair dye in the world can't hide the fact that he's more than twice Ms. Loren's age. Gable's 1930s silver screen smile notwithstanding, the biggest joke in this admittedly cute comedy is the premise that a gorgeous, freewheelin' Italian beauty might fall for a stilted 59 year old senior citizen. Try making that movie today and audiences would write it off as dirty-old-man creepy. (Not nearly a "Lolita"; more a "Gigi".)
But still... Sophia Loren! Wow! She alone gets the film part marks.
