(This was my first IMDB review)
Occasionally, an old movie surprises me with it's subject matter, acting, and intensity. Sophia Loren is plenty sexy on a desolate farm full of unattractive men, and her beauty stand out against the homely Anthony Perkins or the fat and angry Burl Ives.
This is a tale of desperation, told with some great acting and a twist ending. Better than most old dramas of the time period.
