The Millionairess
George Bernard Shaw's aceribic play served as the basis for this romantic satire starring Sophia Loren as a fabulously wealthy beauty who tires of men pursuing her for her money and sets her sights on Indian Doctor Peter Sellers, who has dedicated his life to caring for the poor and needy. Promisingly cast, this comedy never really lives up to expectations.
