In a huff, she opts to go to the land of opera and find out if Italian men are as romantic as legend maintains. Once there, she runs into Roberto (Rossano Brazzi), who is likely to prove the legend true, and meets Don (Troy Donahue), an American running away from the love of his life, Lyda (Angie Dickinson). Between the glamour and the setting, Daves has geared this fluffy tale for the more innocent-minded teen set. Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Good movie, perfect for a remake, its a pety nobody has thought about it, however it would be hard to beat the music score, especially Al Di La by Emilio Pericolly. Movie has not been remastered therefore quality is not the best

step back to the end of the fifties
my copy of the dvd was faded out, so i didnt get to see the glorys of Italy in living color, but i what i could make out is worth the price of admission. this movie was made when american innocence is spelled AMERICAN INNOCENCE. the stars are all incredibly attractive, suzzanne pleshette, is the prettiest i 've seen her and angie dickenson is always dazzling. the story is sweet and entertaining, but the movie is about the senery and the music. the title song al di la is my all time favorite movie song and the theme music through out the film is haunting. the frames of italy are like a series of paintings illustrating the glorius country. buy this, enjoy the nostalgia, the young actors, and the music. also stars al hirt and troy donohue. a for escapism.
