Critic Reviews for Lady L
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (5)
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.
A glossy and very silly period costume piece.
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.
Gary and Ustinov fail to be bogged down by the story's inherent banalities because they are quite outside it and its limitations.
An artistic and commercial flop in which both Paul Newman and Sophia Loren are miscast.
This is one of those cute little films made by a cute little cadre of actors with nothing much else to do.
Audience Reviews for Lady L
Received poor critical reviews, but I figured with Sophia Loren & Paul Newman during the '60s there should be SOMEthing worth watching, right? Eh, not so much. Neither seems to be trying very hard, although Loren does light comedy nicely in some scenes with aging makeup to appear 80, but that pretty much defeats the eye candy aspect. Slow paced, dully plotted, and quite inconsequential - there's simply no spark to this movie.
