...main concern-and it was nowhere more evident than in the garment district, where his quiet good sense settled many strikes and staved off many others. Spain, where he maintained a home was his second country; in 1966, he and his wife were honored with the Order of Isabel la Católica for their efforts at strengthening U.S.-Spanish relations...

It's about this female, Lora, played by a well-developed Italian girl named Isabel Sarli, who has the sexiest way of standing over her husband and her love after she has left them at the bottom of a hole. The men have spent most of the film digging--looking for water they say.

His friends, also dressed modly, performed less and paraded more. In larger parts, Mary Moss as Isabel and John Appleby as Angelo brought out the best in each other. She was passionate. He responded. She recoiled violently -- she wanted to save a brother, not receive a lover. He hated her rejection, became brutal. I'd go see the scene twice more. John Mac-Fayden's (Claudio) scene...
