Editorial Reviews

Adapted by playwright John Patrick from a novel by famed globetrotter/filmmaker John H. Secondari, Three Coins in the Fountain offers the splendors of Rome in Technicolor, CinemaScope and Stereophonic Sounds. For all its lovely picture-postcard images, the film is at base a reworking of 20th Century-Fox' favorite plotline: three pretty girls on the prowl for husbands. The three lovelies, who toss their coins in the Trevi fountain and wish for romance, include Dorothy McGuire, Jean Peters and Maggie McNamara. Before the film is over, secretary McGuire has wooed her boss, Clifton Webb, Peters has won the heart of a co-worker Italian translator Rossano Brazzi (despite being fired, in the process, for having an office romance); and McNamara finds happiness with prince Louis Jourdan. Three Coins in the Fountain won two Academy Awards: "Best Color Cinematography" (Milton Krasner), and "Best Song" (written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, and sung in the pre-credits sequence by an uncredited Frank Sinatra). The film was remade in 1965 as The Pleasure Seekers, and also served as the basis for a never-sold TV pilot starring Yvonne Craig, Cynthia Pepper and Joanna Moore. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

July 06, 2009: loved this movie when it was new, love it now. It is a classic that never grows old, we are all always yearning for that which we do not have and the romanticism of Rome, wow. Who wouldn't want the sound track to this great movie. I highly recommend it to young and old.

FABULOUS!!!by JOANNAFL

April 17, 2009: Having seen this movie over 10 times when it first came out,watching this DVD brought me 'right-back-to-the-moment'....Having been there over 50 years ago, I could RE-live the EMOTION & BEAUTY, of the WHOLE....From the gorgeous landscapes/architectural facades, among the emotional depth of it ALL. It captured the true ESSENCE of BEING THERE!!!

I Also Recommend: The Sound of Music, South Pacific, Mamma Mia!.
