Reviews

"An antidote to conventional star biographies which explain a star's career in personality terms, Pauline Small's careful research into the realities of a film industry usually described as 'Byzantine' puts Sophia Loren into a much more rounded and interesting context. This book will be immensely valuable for students and teachers of Italian cinema, giving fascinating insights into Italian society and the Italian and Hollywood film industries, and how the star functioned within them. Pauline Small has uncovered a wealth of information, changing our perceptions of Italian popular cinema." - Mary Wood, Professor of European Cinema, University of London
