...Getz-Kingsley). Sophia Loren, the bosomy beauty starred in this Italian picture, is now running chest and chest at the European box office with Gina Lollobrigida. In Too Bad She's Bad, Actress Loren gives visible evidence that her reputation is not inflated. She also displays a pleasant little talent for comedy-in case anybody cares...

...game is sometimes played with gallantry by the tax collectors. During her last taxable year, for instance, curvaceous Cinemactress Gina Lollobrigida made three movies, each of which reportedly netted her close to $128,000.
