Gina Lollobrigida, grande dame of European film, turns 90

With some actors, you only need to take one look at the names of their movies to get an idea of where they excelled. In the case of Gina Lollobrigida, her film titles truly say it all: "Wife for a Night," "The Unfaithfuls," "The Wayward Wife," "Beautiful But Dangerous" - these are all titles from the 1950s, linked by a clear theme.

With such candid titles, could there be any questions left?

Admittedly, the original Italian names of some of these highly eroticized film titles sound rather harmless in comparison. Film distributors throughout the world tried to draw attention to the attractive actress' sex appeal - even if the actual films didn't have much to do about sex.

My Dad, a 1919 edition, always talked about her and I know why although my Mom was a babe then too.

At current picture is rarely shown, which is respectful and understandable.

I’ve heard there was a HOT European version of SOLOMON AND SHEBA but I can only find the American release.

They showed one of Garbot and it was not pretty, not to mention the uproar over the pic.
