Sunflower (1970) 103 mins
Two newly-weds were split up when the husband was forced to fight on the Russian Front. Hearing nothing from him, his wife sets out on a desperate journey across Russia to find out if he has survived.
Includes an excellent score by Henry Mancini, for which he received an Oscar nomination. Mancini at his best!!
Shot on location in Italy and Russia which provides a dramatic background.
Sophia was never more beautiful, Marcello was never more debonair. The on-screen chemistry is classic cinema! Modern films pale in comparison to their simple and genuine portrayals captured under the direction of Vittorio De Sica.
A superb mixture of ingredients by De Sica, right down to the inclusion of Mancini as composer!
I wish I could persuade the copyright holder to re-release this title to video.
At one time I owned a copy of this on VHS, but it was destroyed. Any help locating it again (in any format) is appreciated! Looking for the soundtrack too!
