...Rain. Suddenly Sophia Loren was a star. Mouthing Verdi while Renata Tebaldi's voice was fed into the sound track, she became a voluptuous, musky Aïda. And in Gold of Naples, the picture that spread her reputation across continents and seas, she played a Neapolitan pizza vendor's wife whose wonderful, self-congratulating look seemed to say: "Look at me. I'm all woman, and it will be a long time before you see such a woman again." She took a long, unforgettable walk in the rain through the streets of the city, drinking...
...Jeno, and put on a noisy sales campaign with company executives dashing around garbed in the Jeno symbol, a wide Italian hat. "Trouble was," says Paulucci. "we were selling a symbol, not a product. It was an utter failure." He lost $200,000, now sells only spaghetti sauce and pizza...

...Women (Embassy). Sophia Loren is a fine Italian ham, but unfortunately most U.S. directors can't see the prosciutto for the melon. Vittorio (The Bicycle Thief) De Sica knows better. In Gold of Naples he cast her as the main dish in a penny-a-pizza palace, proved her a comedienne with wit as well as It. In Two Women he demonstrates that given astute direction and the chance to play in her own language, Actress Loren can also fill a tragic role...
