Chris Wade explores the filmography of movie legend Sophia Loren, one of the most iconic film stars of the 20th Century. The book charts her cinematic journey through the decades, from her beginnings in Italian cinema during the early fifties, through her first Hollywood pictures, the classics she made with Vittorio De Sica, up to her more recent, often overlooked work. The films explored in this book include The Pride and the Passion (1957), Houseboat (1958), Two Women (1960), Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963), Marriage Italian Style (1964), The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964), Arabesque (1966), A Countess from Hong Kong (1967), Sunflower (1970) and A Special Day (1977).
