WEDNESDAY: South Pacific. (1958) I first saw this stinker at the age of six. I 'hated it then and I most likely still would if I watched it again. Mitzi Gaynor and Rossano Brazzi sing the kind of Rodgers & Hammerstein music that makes you wish you were watching the Red Sox and Tigers on channel 4. CH.5. 8 p.m. Color. 3 hrs. Last of the Mohicans. (1963) An intriguing reversal of the American habit of casting white Midwesterners as Indians and foreigners provides about all the entertainment in this Mexican stab at Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking classic. Starring Jose Marco...
Innocence is based on a 1964 story by Noel Coward, but Director Guy Green obviously hoped to create a younger Singapore version of Summertime, in which Katharine Hepburn found unhappiness in the arms of Rossano Brazzi. To that end, the action is clotted with well-photographed local color-teeming bazaars, sinful side streets, tourist-trap luxury. Unfortunately, though, no amount of lively scenery can make up for the scenario, and on-camera at least, the nubile Miss Mills is not much more plausible as a sex symbol than her unfortunate aunt...

His wife-pointedly identified as the mother of his children, lest there be some mistake-has been participating in the local arts festival rather more enthusiastically than anyone planned. Her pet project is a famous Italian composer-pianist (Rossano Brazzi). The two look at one another, and the sound track booms concerti. On a chain around her neck Maureen wears the gold medal Brazzi won at the festival, a clue that her course in music appreciation has advanced beyond the hand-holding stage...
...sooner snuggled into his sumptuous Villa Fiorita than her pint-sized son and daughter (Martin Stephens, Elizabeth Dear) arrive. They have paid their fare to Italy by selling the girl's pet pony, but they fully intend to put Mama back in harness. Soon they are joined by Brazzi's convent-bred daughter (Olivia Hussey) who has the same idea...
Villa Fiorita becomes a battleground so fraught with emotional crises that Director Delmer Daves, from the sound of things, must have hired extra musicians to bring pathos to a crescendo. The kids scheme, pray, go on a hunger strike, and occasionally throw up as part of a campaign that Brazzi decries as "legally and morally wrong." But children know best: in such strained and saccharine circumstances, a touch of nausea is inevitable...
