Three Coins in the Fountain

Three Coins in the Fountain

Velvety and glazed like a fattening pastry, this 1954 love story concerns three American women who make wishes for love in Rome, and end up having three romances. The cast is fine, but as for the film, what you see is what you get. There's no mystery to any part of this movie--like everything director Jean Negulesco made once CinemaScope entered his life (e.g., How to Marry a Millionaire, A Certain Smile), Three Coins is designed to lull rather than stimulate. (It did, however, win Oscars for cinematography and the Jule Styne-Sammy Cahn title song performed by Frank Sinatra.) --Tom Keogh

    CliftonWebb always got the best lines, he was never sexual, slightly effete,
    always reliable inthemovies. Three Coins inthe Fountain is abit unlikely in plot - look how those girls lived in Rome! What an apartment. and the silly little typist who lands the jaded prince- its not really believable. A girl like that would not have found a job like that in Europe. Maggie McNamara could not act - what became of her anyway? Dorothy Maguire and Rossano Brazzi were a delight, I never saw Dorothy in a bad role. She had Class. Iam sure the late Bill Collins wouold have agreed with me. Rosanne
