Citas:

Dominick Rossini: [after giving Rocky a black eye for getting Angie pregnant] We had a long talk. And the thing is, he came to me like a man, and he's willing to marry 'ya.
Angie Rossini: [Bewildered] WHY?
Rocky Papasano: I know you're embarrassed, the stupid way he put it, but...
Angie Rossini: I'm not embarrassed. I'd like to know!
Dominick Rossini: What do you mean "stupid?"
Rocky Papasano: Stupid - you're STUPID.

Star power at its best

This movie is heightened by the fact that Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen are the stars. They have enough acting talent and chemistry together to make it work. The subject matter probably made this controversial in the sixties but the movie doesn't seem old in a stupid way. The supporting cast is good too - Hershel Bernardi, especially, as Natalie's overly-possessive brother.
