      As a gimmick to promote the film after Olmi's earlier Il Posto had failed at the US box office ,the distributor Janus let all prospective customers in for free on the opening day of The Fiancees in New York City.
    • Quotes

      Giovanni: [narrating - part of a letter he's writing back home in reply to Liliana] What beautiful letters you write, dear Liliana. You're so good at expressing yourself. I'm not as good, and I often can't say everything I feel. But I'm sure you understand me just the same, because the feelings you express are the same ones I feel. You speak for both of us.

    Perfection
    This was Olmi's 3rd feature and was shown briefly in New York (audiences failed to turn out even when they were giving tickets away). It's a step forward in Olmi's artistry, after the straightforward but delightful realism of "Il Posto." Olmi uses temporal devices to elaborate the circumstances of the hero's lonely life - his long engagement, his decision to take a job offer in faraway Sicily, his longing for Liliana - and succeeds brilliantly, achieving a more artful and truly poetic style. And anyone who has spent some time far away from a loved one will feel acutely Giovanni's isolation and how his feelings for Liliana become clearer and sharper as the days that separate them accumulate. I unhesitatingly recommend this beautiful little film.
