I enjoy a good Gina Lollobrigida movie, and lucky for me, this was one! I love her later work in Come September, Strange Bedfellows and Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell, but it was a treat to see her earlier work. 

The story of Fanfan la Tulipe was fun and kooky, just the perfect film to keep my attention span this weekend!
