IL VIAGGIO (The Journey, or The Voyage, 1974) *** I don't know why the poets and writers keep saying it: follow your heart, don't bother with "duty" as defined by patriarchs. Just because it's true I guess, and because new people are being born. Anyone that still doesn't get it never will, no matter how beautifully it's said. Sophia Loren is a most extraordinary mixture of casualness and elegance. Richard Burton does sincere thinking and stammering thing better than anyone. They both have incredible presence, which in her case more than compensates for the occasional and slight dramatic lapse. Vittorio De Sica films and creates Italy like no one else. Imagine an Italian convertible that can go 20 mph!
