1962: The Adventures of Angie Dickinson in Italy Are you saying that none of these tanned, muscular guys attract you?
- Being young is not so good.
Pretty Angie Dickinson face. A young, beautiful blonde in an Italian village. Here she attracts the attention of all men. And, as it often happens, she will have to go through all stages of alienation: suspicion of debauchery, gossip behind her back, intrigue and even the requirement to immediately leave the area. That's the fate of beautiful ladies. At least, this is how Jean Negulesco shows this casual story. Fortunately, Angie was too good and sweet to see her throughout the film was pleasant. And if the author’s concept is ironically changed, then the film could be given the title “How to Marry a Prince”, in the spirit of another, more famous picture of Negulesco.
Otherwise, you shouldn’t be surprised that nothing happens. Well, a naked beauty swims in the lake and takes a picture of her. They will. Well, all the women of the village will decide to conspire and deny intimacy to men. It's a rich man affair. All this is so easy and easy that it is not even interesting. And in parallel, the personal life of two young girls will unfold - but this is a familiar model for Negulesco. And the life of the Italian village is bred in true Hollywood style - pretentiously, comically, but at the same time in a good way. That's how the tape runs. There will be nothing left.
There will be nothing left of the memorable moments. Is it an observation that that year, and it's obvious, there were two actresses being trained to replace Marilyn? And if Lee Remick was really technical, talented and gave out bright acting moments (she has many of them for her career), then Angie is a female grace herself. She had a bet on charm.
