Photo of the Day

The private lives of Poppaea (Brigitte Bardot) and Nero (Alberto Sordi) in NERO'S BIG WEEKEND

The humour in Italian PEPLUM comedies usually gets lost in translation and this film is no different. I like it and it makes me smile and giggle but it's not laugh-out funny stuff. This is Bardot before she became the Bardot that everyone remembers.

I saw this and its quite amusing, if you like Sordi's mugging. Vittorio De Sica is good in it and silent star Gloria Swanson plays Sordi's mother and makes a great entrance all in red. BB is adorable as usual.

I've read so much about Swanson's performance in this, but have never seen a single photo of her in this film, so if someone has one could they please add it? Thanks...
