            Is it me or is it a remake of Riso Amaro?
            I couldn't help to think about it,right when I saw the fist scenes and noticed that the main actors are the same than in their most famous film.After seeing that Vittorio Gassman is also there,that he also plays a quite cruel Husband/Lover,who is also nobody to pity as he smuggles his wife as his cigarettes,that instead of the Rice paddies they change them for Venice,that she plays a sexy girl,this time obsessed by the music....It looks like the typical Hollywood remake,no ideas,the original Cast and lets hope to make some money... Anyone else thinking like me...?

            And well,I just hate to watch it in English,I just love the different accents of Italian actors.
