Reviews for The Secret of Santa Vittoria
Carrying charm, suspense, romance, the production offers Anthony Quinn at his seasoned best, a plot and unfoldment that holds the spectator.
Lost without a message to sledgehammer home, Kramer turned to bombastic comedy with this World War II yarn.
There's not one affecting, surprising or spontaneous moment in the picture.
The sort of film you usually fall asleep in front of on a Sunday afternoon -- later to wish you'd stayed awake for the outcome.
