Best movie of this year hands down!

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Powerful

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This is on my list of "watch whenever it's on," since it speaks to the temptation for women of degrading themselves rather than be alone. I must have seen it a dozen times, and the scenery is a great travelogue. Tennessee Williams can be very depressing, and this movie is no different, but it does have a decent message pertinent to older women especially. Vivian Leigh is very good, but Warren Beatty absolutely stinks in this. Two comments: 1. Without a doubt, Beatty's Italian accent is the WORST ever in any movie (worse than Brad Pitt's German one) 2. If that theme song sounds familiar, it's because it was stolen for the theme song of "Random Hearts," many years' later

When Vivien Leigh died the New York Times gave her death front page news. Ironically, this magnificent actress and great beauty had a short career in films and a rather short life.As we all know Ms. Leigh conquered Hollywood with her Scarlett O Hara beating out Jean Arthur, Paulette Goddard, Susan Hayward and just about every major female star for the role of the Century. Ms. Leigh won an Oscar for her performance and another one as her peerless Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire. Jack Warner thankfully bankrolled this film shot in Europe. One sees a magical artist at work. The shame of it all is that along with Ship of Fools were Ms. Leigh's last films. Warren Beatty does a nice job as the Gigolo and the film is recommended most of all for a supreme actress Vivien Leigh.

Really enjoyed the film but was distracted every time Mr Beatty was on screen. I suppose he was hitting his stride in 1961 so 'they' had to use him in this film. I don't understand why some luscious Italian couldn't have been used instead. This reminds me of Meryl Streep's casting in The Bridges of Madison County. Awful. Use originals, not poor copies.Vivien Leigh was superb in the film.....so I suppose I am contradicting myself as she played an American! Her pathos was on display completely. Lotte Lenya was wonderful as the Contessa. She devoured her scenes with aplomb. It's interesting to watch movies where some of the actors are seamless and others try really hard. You notice the difference. Warren Beatty was clearly out of his league.

In her mid and later movie career, Vivien Leigh seemed to thrive in fading woman roles. Naturally, we think of her as Blanche, in 1951's "A Streetcar Named Desire." Her last film "Ship of Fools," she was also a fading starlet and 1961's "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone," she played a washed up actress desperately searching for a way out of her loneliness with a younger man, Warren Beatty with a great Italian accent.The 'Roman Spring' basically fails because it could be viewed in comic terms. Lotte Lenya's supporting Oscar nomination performance as a woman in charge of matching up young gigolos with older women is comic at best. I would have laughed heartily if I didn't realize that Lenya tried to be serious. As the Contessa looking for a quick buck, Lenya constantly came across as a Brooklyn or Bronx yenta constantly on the phone to drum up business. Lenya may have been talented but she was extremely homely. That ugliness served her better as Rosa Klebb in "To Russia With Love."Leigh's portrayal of Karen Stone presented one very sick woman with emotional ups and downs. The film is depressing at best, with an ending suitable for a Hitchcock thriller.
