Three Coins in the Fountain Reviews

This pleasant boy-meets-girl story (times three) is more distinguished for its photography and title song than for its predictable plot.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

The film has warmth, humor, a rich dose of romance and almost incredible pictorial appeal.

The melodic song and grand Rome setting are more memorable than anything in the plot, characters, or acting; the movie is credited with helping increase American tourism to Italy.

Three Coins in the Fountain is quite clearly a film in which the locale comes first. However, the nonsense of its fable tumbles nicely within the picture frame.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Given that this is the stuff of movies, you can pretty much guess the outcome, but the journey to true love is undeniably sweet.

Formulaic fifties romantic tish.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Not very nice to the women, for what was probably considered a 'woman's picture.'

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

This touristy romance was an unexpected hit in its day, but you'd hardly think it to look at it now.
