Experiment of starting and ending this pic with Sophia Loren as an 80-year-old, an alleged aristocrat with a somewhat simpering tedious voice, doesn't come off.

Reviews for Lady L
This is one of those cute little films made by a cute little cadre of actors with nothing much else to do.
A silly, forgettable sex comedy that is a star vehicle for Sophia Loren.
Whatever the causes of the minor disatisfactions inherent in this film, its major rewards are due to Peter Ustinov's sensitive conception and superb direction.
