NOTES |
A mother
(Sophia Loren) seeks financial help from her ex-lovers to pay for an
operation to help her son who has been blind since he was 2 years
old. The son (played by Loren's own son) is now 12. His performance
consists of staring ahead, running up to men and shouting daddy and
falling over things, as tutored to do by his mother. He does use a
Braille watch but is generally portrayed as being helpless.
They travel around Italy in a caravan seeking out the ex-lovers who
don't appear to remember her.
The story is told in a dull, slow fashion and overall it is a silly,
fanciful film. And happily the boy has his op, can see again and the
mother even finds love with one of the men who, guess, is the real
father.
