Movie Info
Meg Johnson (Olivia de Havilland) is very protective of her daughter, Clara (Yvette Mimieux), a gorgeous young woman who suffers from a mental disability. While on vacation in Italy, Clara meets the dashing Fabrizio Naccarelli (George Hamilton), who is immediately smitten with her and doesn't initially grasp the extent of her developmental handicap. Though Meg is wary of letting Clara fall into a romance with Fabrizio, she realizes that he may be able to give the girl a better life.

Olivia DeHavilland and her 26 year old daughter (Yvette Mimieux) vacation in sunny Florence, Italy for an undetermined length of time, but why? It looks all very idyllic but the mother hovers near her daughter incessantly....it turns out that the daughter is developmentally challenged and the mother has not accepted what looks to be her little girl's fate. And so, a soap opera, yes, but one that looks at living with tragic lowered expectations. While the solution offered is bonkers (and perhaps criminal) at least the presentation is first rate. Barry Sullivan delivers a minor and short-lived respite from some of the angsty sentimental slush. And...Italy, scenic all on its own.

An absolutely beautiful story! I'd reccommend this film, the book, or the musical to anyone!

Nice drama in a beautiful setting. Except for the ludicrous casting of George Hamilton as an Italian the film benefits from an excellent cast. Olivia is strong as the worried mother, Rossano dashing and Yvette breathtakingly beautiful like a china doll come to life.
