Sinekatalog’s take

Luigi Comencini's sunny comedy has a police marshal in a mountain village drawn to a lively local girl while the midwife pursues him. Gina Lollobrigida and Vittorio De Sica sparkle in a charming, light rural romance.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
