5.0 out of 5 stars The Fortunate Pilgrim
Excellent movie. Originally seen on TV many, many years ago. Finally able to purchase a copy. The story of an Italian family's immigration to the U.S. and all of their sacrifices, sorrows and joys. Able to visualize my own family's immigration and early life in U.S.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Fortunate Pilgrim DVD quality.
Was expecting higher quality video and audio from this DVD. Too much video appears to have been compressed onto one DVD. It should have been put on two DVD's. Had to crank up audio to hear it clearly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fortunate Pilgrim - A must for Italo-Americans and great for all, April 6, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Fortunate Pilgrim (DVD)
Based on Mario Puzo's best book, this is a masterpiece. I have read the book twice and never thought the film would come close but it does. From the opening scene with the voice of Pavorotti singing over the street noise to the wonderful ending it is a great story of a wonderful Italian mother who is going to make it in America for her family. Sophia Loren is amazing. If you are of Italian heritage or just know an Italian; you must see this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fortunate Pilgrim - Sophia Loren, February 24, 2006
This review is from: The Fortunate Pilgrim (DVD)
This product was exactly what I want and what I was searching for since a very long time. I'm glad to know that I can find everything in your website. The DVD I've purchased is perfect and the movie was perfect too. Sophia Loren did a great job in this movie. I really loved the way she presented the story and made me feel that she is not acting at all. I recommand this movie for everybody who admire Sophia Loren and who wants to not only watch a movie but live within it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Read the Novel, December 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Fortunate Pilgrim (DVD)
Some interesting cinematography gives one a little sense of Hell's Kitchen, but the best thing to do is read the novel, Mario Puzo's The Fortunate Pilgrim, for its powerful family tale. Sophia Loren can't quite pull off the character of Lucia Santa.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fortunate Pilgrim, January 6, 2008
This review is from: The Fortunate Pilgrim (DVD)
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I have never seen this 144 minute version; my DVD is the complete 270 minute version published by Maxima Entertainment in 2005. The picture quality could be better, but it is the best way to see it. Luciano Pavorotti won an Emmy for the theme song, Caruso.
