BOY ON A DOLPHIN
(20th Century-Fox) G Cert. "\/ HIPPED up corn" is how a young friend of mine described Boy on a Dolphin, but he could stand, he added.
a good deal of corn if Sophia Loren was part of the dish. This is a viewpoint I’m inclined -to share. Miss Loren is not a ‘great actress, but on fire she looks a bit like a younger, more conventionally beautiful Anna Magnani; and up from a spot of skin diving her efforts to get her breath back are a treat to watch. I hope to see more of it. The other attraction is the location -Greece and the sea around it — beautifully photographed in good colour. Unfortunately it doesn’t breathe the spirit of place as, say, Venice did in Summer Madness; and since the storyabout the rivalry of Clifton Webb and Alan Ladd for a treasure Miss Loven has found on the sea ped -is thoroughly preclictable conventional romantic drama, the film as a whole is not very exciting. Jean Negulesco directed.
