4.0 out of 5 stars Macaroni, no cheese, July 5, 2001

In this sadly overlooked romantic comedy, Jack Lemmon and Marcello Mastroianni team up in a wonderful combination of foreign film charm and Hollywood star power. Jack Lemmon plays an American business mogul visiting Naples, Italy on business for the first time since his tour of duty in World War II. He is greeted by an old friend, played by Mastroianni, who has spent the years since the war re-inventing Lemmon as a super hero, thanks to a series of letters faithfully arriving from around the world. Lemmon shines as the jaded American against Mastroianni's hopeless romantic. Both actors work so well together it is a shame they didn't do more during their lifetimes. I highly recommend this movie for those who want a romantic comedy with a European twist. An added bonus for those allergic to foreign films is that Macaroni is in English. -Enjoy

4.0 out of 5 stars Charisma, watchability and unabashed entertainment, September 29, 2010

Who has more charm than Marcello Mastroianni? And paired with Jack Lemmon, this is a team to watch over and over. Yes, it is a shame they didn't do more together. While the film is admittedly very, very sentimental, I have watched it several times and enjoyed it each and every viewing. This is, after all, entertainment! Ebert has written that it's soggy and has too many sub-plots. So what? This film is a treasure. I wish it were available on DVD.
