Home is a former sculptor's smallish skylighted studio in Greenwich Village, which she shares with her boyfriend of eight years. Bob Williamson, a "freelance stock speculator." Marriage? "Great for taxes, necessary for children, but abominable for romance." Hutton also boycotts the uptown party scene: "I feel foolish in that kind of setup, and I think those people would feel foolish in mine." Lauren and Bob divide household chores because "I've never had a maid and don't want one. If you've got more things than you can take care of yourself...

Sophia Loren appears as the most ravishing nun in Eu rope; she gave her life to mother church after her boyfriend got deep-fried in an oil fire. She ministers to the sick and the infirm as head of an Italian hospital, which is riddled with both political strife and human tragedy. The movie is unrelentingly simpleminded, and treats all subjects from cardiac ar rests to brimming bedpans with a jovial mixture of high spirits, low comedy and bad taste. Loren breezes...
