You were young in those days Darlin´ and no doubt you could identify with those three girls. If I remember correctly, Rossano Brazzi was the Continental heart throb of romantic ladies in that movie.
For me it was my last cruise in the Royal Navy. I arrive back home in 14th June 1954 after an around the world trip. Then, I had to start thinking about getting a real job.
LOL. Sorry to be the one to correct you but some things really cannot stand. It was my mother who, as a young married woman, became enchanted with the movie, the location and the romance of the story. In fact, growing up, I remember hearing that song played often during parties or dinners at our home, along with songs or themes from other movies. It was the kind of music impressionable little girls found irrestably romantic. IIRC, I think I first saw Three Coins in a Fountain late one night on TV and no doubt with my mother and probably early on during High School. Of course, I loved it, too... and the Trevi Fountain was one of the first things I went to see the day I finally arrived in Rome.
