Quotes:

Paolo Maltese: [Turning toward the Baptistery] This over here is the Baptistery. From all over the world...
Mae Jenkins: Oh well.
[and walks away]
Paolo Maltese: [Catches up with her, exasperated] Listen. THAT is the Baptistery. From all over the world people are coming here everyday just to look at it.
Mae Jenkins: Well, I guess they just must like baptisteries.
[Walks away]
Paolo Maltese: [Turning to Joey] Without exception, Joey, without challenge from anyone anywhere, this is the most stupidest, the most unfeelingest, the most uncooperative broad in the whole planet.

Decent film divided into three stories

I found this film fairly enjoyable. The film involves three stories with completely different casts with the rolls-royce linking the three. The second and third were much more entertaining, as the first story was portrayed rather lifelessly by its cast. I was amazed at how much humor Bergman was able to inject into such a serious situation in the final portion of the movie. Although she did show an ability for comedy over her career, this is something she seems to be rarely given credit for.
