Another old movie recently seen on T.V.  — Three Coins in the Fountain.

This romantic comedy is about three American women who find love in Italy.  

I always enjoy watching this 1954 movie, especially for the beautiful and romantic shots of Rome, Venice and the Italian countryside.  Italy is one of my favorite and romantic places in the world.   There’s just something about the atmosphere, the language, scenery, people… and let’s not forget the food.   ;-)    It’s definitely the place to find love.

There is a belief/custom that when a visitor throws a coin in the famous Trevi fountain in Rome, one will return to the city.

When I was in Italy, I headed out to the Trevi fountain.  However, on my way there, I found out that the fountain was empty.  It was either being cleaned or under repairs (I don’t remember which now).  So, I made other plans and never got to go there and throw a coin in the fountain.   I wonder if that’s the reason I haven’t returned to Italy in a long time.  I’ll have to make serious plans to visit italy again.   When I do, I’ll make sure to throw a coin in the Trevi fountain.

I was stuck at home.  It was snowing outside.  I decided to channel surf and lo and behold!  What did I find?  The 1987 movie The Big Easy, starring Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin.  The Big Easy!   Yes!

Every once in a while I’m able to catch one of my favorite movies on T.V.

From the first time I saw this sexy thriller that takes place in New Orleans, I loved it.   What a wonderful background to use to tell the story of the laid back cop with a questionable character, Remy McSwain (who is solving mob-related murders) and the sharp  but uptight attorney, Ann Osborne (who is investigating police corruption).  I loved how the passion flared between these two characters on screen.   

There are lots of favorite parts of the movie, one includes actor Dennis Quaid singing, Why You Don’t Love Me Anymore?  *sigh*

I love the sexy, sultry atmosphere, the Cajun music, and the one liners of the movie.

This was a good, hot movie to watch on a cold snowy day.

Have any of you seen this oldie but goodie?
