| In the film, I thought Mimieux actually had a pretty good chance of doing well in Italy. George Hamilton's character to me seemed sincerely in love with her, but he seemed kind of like a big puppy dog who didn't seem like he needed a lot of strong intellectual stimulation from his mate. Mimieux's character was ready for physical love, and among his extended family with lots of women, she would get lots of help raising children, cooking, cleaning -- i.e. the traditional women's roles of wife and mother in very traditional Italy of that time. She might be be challenged in some ways, but he doesn't seem like he's going to demand beyond her capacities. Plus she can already speak better Italian than most Americans! With a fairly well-to-do and supportive family, she'd do much better than the kind of life her father was planning for her back in some institution in America. |
