The Light in the Piazza (1961 released 62 Guy Green)

Scr. Julius J Epstein, story Elizabeth Spencer.

Lots of lovely Firenze locations (and Rome). Story (about mentally underdeveloped young girl meeting handsome Italian to the consternation of over-protective mother) is sweet and has a slight satisfying twist to the outcome.





Olivia de Havilland, George Hamilton, Yvette Mimieux (20, delightful), Rossano Brazzi.

Photographed by Otto Heller in Eastmancolor and CinemaScope. (Though I wonder if MGM restricted his normally rich and strange pallette?)
Music Mario Nacimbene.

The Grand Hotel is I believe now known as the Grand Hotel Baglioni.
