Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Naccarelli Sr. takes Mrs. Johnson for a ride in the car, he keeps turning the wheel in both directions, as if there were many sharp turns on the road - yet the position of the car in relation to the camera angle hardly changes, as if the road were perfectly straight. Also, on more than one occasion during the drive he glances at Mrs. Johnson even as he is steering the wheel, i.e. at the exact same time (which, in real life, would have resulted in an inevitable accident).

Eileen and I enjoyed this movie very much. It is a very accurate story of how parents worry about the future of their adult children. It is best to watch the movie without knowing too much about it. The acting is excellent. It is interesting to watch a young George Hamiltion in his first few years of acting. The young woman is strikingly beautiful and does a great job also. She is Weena from the original Time Machine movie. The American father is the typical 1950s father who does not want to be involved in the details but wants to make all the critical decisions. While in Italy, the American Mother grows up as much as her daughter during the film.
