The Millionairess (1960)
Country: GB
Technical: DeLuxe/Cinemascope 90m
Director: Anthony Asquith
Cast: Sophia Loren, Peter Sellers, Alastair Sim, Vittorio de Sica, Dennis Price
Synopsis:
A millionaire dies and bequeathes everything to his beautiful daughter Epiphania, who resolves to find a man who will live up to her, and her father's, ideals. She doesn't reckon with a principled Indian doctor who despises plutocracy.
Review:
Curious Shavian artefact which, though spared of all the outward trappings of its decade, cannot fail but to seem outmoded and implausibly whimsical. The touches of raciness sit uneasily alongside the essential sexlessness of the central couple's rapport, and the boardroom shenanigans are obscure as if the victims of cutting.
