An elderly Lady Louise Lendale, Lady L (Sophia Loren) is celebrating her birthday with a large group of well-connected men from all branches of the establishment. She recounts her great loves starting from her time in a Paris brothel. She and revolutionary Armand Denis (Paul Newman) go on the run from the police. While on a mission, she meets Lord Lendale (David Niven).
This seems to be a comedy but I didn't laugh once. That's the basic measuring stick for all comedies. It's a rather personal assessment. The Loren Newman pairing is gorgeous but maybe too much. It's almost fake in their impossible beauty. Also, they're trying to do a screwball comedy which doesn't take off. Niven comes in and disrupts any chemistry in the relationship. It's all non-sense anyways.
