Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun 1950s romance,
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Coins in a Fountain (VHS Tape)
European travels became popular subject matter in American movies in the 1950s and 1960s, perhaps because Americans were visiting Europe in record numbers (the strong post-war dollar was a help). While movies such as "Summertime" and "Roman Holiday" are of better quality from a critical standpoint, "Three Coins in the Fountain" is also extremely good. The plot concerns the lovelife of three American secretaries working in Rome. While dated, it remains great, light entertainment and will make you want to see Rome for yourself.

Great 1950's romance stories, wonderful photography in Rome,
By Mary "Moviefan" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Three Coins in the Fountain (DVD)
I had the vhs of this but bought the DVD. A romantic movie from the 1950's, set in Rome with the Trevi Fountain and the narrow streets and beautiful colour photography of Rome. Its amusing at times and serious at others. The song "Three Coins in the Fountain" is heard in the background, which adds to the enjoyment of the movie. The story involves three different relationships involving three girls who go to Rome to work there. Its suitable for romantics and those who want to remember the innocent movies of the 1950's and the wonderful movie stars of the time such asDorothy McGuire, Clifton Webb, Louis Jordan, Maggie McNamara, Jean Peters, and Rossano Brizzi. Much better than the later remakes of it.Close captioning, subtitles. I recommend it.

Great story, great cast and superb cinematography,
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Coins in a Fountain (VHS Tape)
I saw this movie when I was a child and liked it. Then saw it many times on TV and at a special screening in New York.The best thing about it I discovered is the dialog. It's smart and funny - of course, the script was written by a Pulitzer prize winner: John Patrick.The film was nominated for an Oscar as Best Picture of 1954, and actually won for Best Cinematography and Best Song The cast is marvelous - most outstanding are Jean Peters and Rossano Brazi (who are the best looking couple and also share the best story of the three featured in the film)and Clifton Webb, who delivers his lines full of sarcasm and innuendos with perfect timing. The film's most valued asset is its photography by Milton Krasner. Although many will remember "Roman Holiday" as capturing the best of Rome, this film is much more superior visually - and in color and glorious wide screen Cinemascope.
