    Hi all, I'm back with another video. Hope you all had a great holiday season! Jean Negulesco, who the previous year, directed "How To Marry A Millionaire" and would go on to direct another "three girls searching for love" film, "The Best Of Everything", brought this lush romantic story of three American secretaries in Rome looking for "Mr. Right". By tossing coins into the famed Trevi fountain, each hopes they will find him. Unfortunately, none of the roads they take run smooth. Newly arrived Maria Williams (the tragic Maggie McNamara), becomes interested in playboy Prince Dino di Cessi (the ever-suave Louis Jourdan), but feels that deception is the only way to win his heart; Anita Hutchins (the svelte Jean Peters) becomes involved with aspiring lawyer and translator Georgio Bianchi (Rossanno Brazzi), but when Maria inadvertently lets it slip to their boss that the two are involved, Anita is fired for violating the company rule about dating coworkers; and Miss Frances (the always warm Dorothy McGuire), has long had a seeming unrequited love for the writer for whom she works, John Frederick Shadwell (a miscast Clifton Webb). Will the promise of Italy and the legend of the Trevi fountain work its magic for the couples?
    The title song, performed in the opening sequence by Frank Sinatra, was also a big hit for The Four Aces.
    Enjoy!

    The cast is fabulous with two very handsome leading men. Every time I watch this movie, I remember my trip to Italy and the thrill of being in Rome. One day, I was walking through the city and found myself at Trevi Fountain...I threw in my coins. While there I met a handsome Italian and spent my last few days there in his company. A wonderful dinner in the country, a walk by the Adriatic sea, and finding him at my hotel the morning I left to kiss me good-bye. It doesn't get any better than this. I often wonder, 33 years later, where Gianni Agate is? You gave me memories for a lifetime. Ti Amo.

    In this beautiful song, Frank Sinatra creates instantly a DREAMY, ROMANTIC MOOD which reflects the slower pace of life back then in the mid 1950s. In Rome at that time, there were no graffiti on public buildings, no hordes of tourists and no African peddlers selling cheap wares. The movie shows Rome in all its splendor at that time.

    I had forgtotten this one theme of the film of the same name. I saw the movie when my Father took me to the Cinema to watch it. It is nice to hear it again and remember after all these years about sixrty in fact. But love is eternal and never goes out of date.

      the beautiful jean peters said that she preferred films that were not glamorous, like 'anne of the indies', 'lure of the widerness', 'apache', 'niagara', & 'pickup on south street', for me her best roles.

    Back in 1970 The plane made a stop at the Rome airport ,on the way to Istanbul and I never saw much of Rome. Simpler times when this movie was made.

    Those were some great shots of the Trevi fountain! Seeing this again, there's no doubt that Krasner deserved the Oscar for Best Cinematography, Color. This cast has wonderful chemistry together, bringing life to Patrick's book. I really like that you edited it to a Sinatra song, Colleen. Thanks for sharing.

    Three coins in the fountain,
    each one seeking happiness.
    Thrown by three hopeful lovers,
    which one will the fountain bless?
    Three hearts in the fountain,
    each heart longing for its home.
    There they lie in the fountain
    somewhere in the heart of Rome.
    Which one will the fountain bless?
    Which one will the fountain bless?
    Three coins in the fountain,
    through the ripples how they shine.
    Just one wish will be granted,
    one heart will wear a valentine.
    Make it mine!
    Make it mine!
    Make it mine!

      +Andy Bueno Howard Hughes thought so, too! Married to him for 14 years. She made an American movie called "A Man Called Peter" about the Rev.Peter Marshall, who was the Chaplain of the Senate during WWII. She was quite a different character as the wife of a minister!! She was a beautiful woman...and a magnificent actress.

    Always like that one. Thanks Muirmaiden! It was a shame that Maggie McNamara's career got short circuited. Dorothy McGuire through the 50's was cast as an "older woman" despite her youth. And the stunning Jean Peters quit the movies in the mid fifties, probably at the behest of the increasingly bizarre Howard Hughes.

    i preferred jean peters when she was getting down & dirty, like in 'anne of the indies', 'niagara', 'lure of the wilderness', 'apache' & 'pickup on south street.' - she would have been very good in 'calamity jane.'
