Trivialidades:

We only see two coins thrown in the fountain, but we told of a third thrown in by Georgio.

Errores:

Continuidad: At the beginning of the final scene at the Trevi fountain, the fountain is dry and being cleaned. While the actors are there, the fountain begins flowing again. However, when the actors leave, the fountain is completely full, not a possibility given the size of the fountain and the period of time over which the scene occurs.

Citas:

John Frederick Shadwell: Why can't women play the game properly? Everyone knows that in love affairs only the man has the right to lie!

An overproduced romantic melodrama produced at a time when Hollywood was ripe with them.

This routinely structured story of women abroad finding romance with foreigners is noteworthy only for the added value that CinemaScope and stereophonic sound were able to provide mid-century audiences. It's all too trite, particularly in an era in American films where directors like Douglas Sirk and Vincente Minnelli were creating masterpieces of the genre. A terrifically romantic view of the Eternal City, though!
