Sophia Loren two-fer

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Besides the two feature films on ST. CLAIR's SOPHIA LOREN SIGNATURE COLLECTION, you also get six Loren movie trailers and a bio.

SYNOPSES--

ANGELA-- A story of incest between a mother and son who are unaware of their familial bond. John Huston is most interesting as a Mafiosi.

TWO WOMEN-- Miss Loren's Oscar-winning turn in an atypically unglamorous role. A mother and daughter flee Rome for a small village during WWII, but the war follows them there.


The Euro-glamor flicks in BOMBSHELLS OF THE SILVER SCREEN (from BCI) include appearances by Virni Lisi, Gina Lollobrigida, Elke Sommer and Brigitte Bardot.


Parenthetical numbers preceding titles are 1 to 10 viewer poll ratings found at a film research website.

Good films badly transferred to digital format

"While these are two interesting films, especially "Two Women", this particular packaging of them shows little care for quality. The image quality on the second film "Angela" is particularly bad. I'd only recommend if you love the movies enough to overlook the flawed aesthetics."
