Light in the Piazza: The Movie

I did a search about the show, and this movie came up on IMDB. Has anyone seen it?

If so, is it good? I love the '60s.

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

I've only seen the Broadway musical.
I do have a feeling that I'll get to see the film very soon in NYC.

It's on TCM, fairly regularly. Well, at least I've seen in on there, a couple of times. I like it.

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

It has some wonderful performances by Olivia de Havilland and Yvette Mimieux and a plot twist between the mother and the father that I prefer to the musical.

I saw it a couple of months ago around 6:00 in the morning.

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

I recorded it last time it was on TCM since it hasn't ever been released of VHS or DVD, but I haven't got around to watching it yet. Maybe after I finish the musical that's on my DVR from yesterday.

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

I've seen it and it doesn't have Mike Piazza in it either but it does have George Hamilton as Fabrizio Naccarelli!

Forgive my ignorance, having never seen either. Do they have the same story line?

I really enjoy the movie and it's especially interesting for anyone who's a fan of the musical.

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

chevtriss....what an ignorant statement. Sorry but in the middle of summer in Florence, I am NOT wearing anything other than shorts.........

apparently you don't travel much. Seasoned travelers go for comfort.......unless you are rice, and can afford to have clothes dry-cleaned all over Europe.

Elphaba, shorts are fine as long as you leave the fanny in the back of the closet (along with all your skeletons!)

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

apparenly I do travel much. Even in countries where you CANNOT wear shorts in public. A long cotton skirt is just as as comfortable and rinses out in the sink overnight.

exposing the back of ones naked thighs to public seating is just plain nasty.

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

oh please.......how utterly ridiculous. Most MEN I know do not wear skirts. Hell, most people in Prague, Budapest, etc aren't even dressed up.....

"exposing the back of ones naked thighs to public seating is just plain nasty." (someone has issues....)

lol, thanks Ms. Manners..........

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

I really like the movie.

PJ - I was wondering if the plot twist was in the musical.

actually Margo, it's one of 5 or 6 novellas in a one-volume work. I just ordered it for the trip to Europe.....

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

Careful about wearing shorts in certain churches, mosques and temples. Also short sleeves... and sandals. It's not allowed in some places. It's considered disrespectful, and you will be asked to leave very abruptly. I've seen it happen quite a few times... in Italy mostly.

re: Light in the Piazza: The Movie

best, In Rome, and Venice, and the Amalfi Coast, I never had a problem in shorts or short sleves........in any church at all or museums, etc, although I wore very thin pants in St. Peters.
I would never wear sandals anywhere in Europe, just not my thing.
