Sinopse
Garotas americanas sonham em encontrar romance em Roma, mas isto não é para secretárias, diz Anita. Mas Maria logo conhece o príncipe Dino de Cessi em uma festa na casa de seu chefe, que a convida a voar para Veneza em seu avião particular. Frances, que está em Roma há 15 anos como secretária de um escritor americano de sucesso que fala muito como George Bernard Shaw e é tão ilusória quanto o professor Henry Higgins em "My Fair Lady", diz a ela para dizer "não" e depois decide que juntos eles podem lidar com o homem apelidado de príncipe predador. Moedas jogadas na Fonte de Trevi podem realmente funcionar como mágica.
O filme conta três histórias de amor diferentes: Michael (Liam Neeson) é um escritor veterano, que acaba de romper com a esposa (Kim Basinger) e viaja a Paris, buscando novas histórias. Ele encontra na aspirante a escritora Anna (Olivia Wilde) uma amante e uma inspiração, devido ao passado sombrio da garota. O empresário Scott (Adrien Brody) está passeando por Roma, quando conhece a misteriosa cigana Monica (Moran Atias) e simpatiza com sua perigosa busca para reencontrar a filha pequena. Julia (Mila Kunis) é uma jovem mãe, traumatizada após perder a guarda do filho para o ex-marido famoso (James Franco), e conta com a ajuda da advogada Theresa (Maria Bello) nesta batalha judicial.
Despite of (or perhaps because of ) its sparse production values and unpretentiousness, the Italian Gli Innamorati was feted at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. The bulk of the story takes place in a single Roman neighborhood. In the manner of the 1925 German classic A Joyless Street, director Mauro Bolognini studies the hopes, dreams, successes and failures of the neighborhood's various and sundry denizens. No one subplot dominates the proceedings, though a bit of extra time is afforded the story of a fickle seamstress and her seemingly meek-and-mild boyfriend. The cast is dotted with such reassuringly familiar faces as Nino Manfredi and Gino Cervi. Released in the US as Wild Love, Gli Innamorati was instrumental in bringing international fame to director Bolognini, whose career soon shifted into high drive.
