I agree with the only other reviewer that this was pleasant enough to watch, although the basic idea is flawed in that nobody would ever stick his neck out as far as the obviously very rich guy does ... It was also obvious from the beginning that Anna Valle would be of romantic interest (why else would the part be for a female lawyer?). But if the film had been edited less radically ("let's keep it short so cinemas will show it!") it would probably have been even better than it is. However, the excellent Claudio Amendola and ex-Miss Italy Anne Valle are well supported by most of the cast, so that the film's 91 minutes fly by far too rapidly.

Just the usual TV-Movie ...
DrFatso22 July 2005
... but with an Italian taste, just the fact that for a break the characters eat a normal red sauce pizza and not an hot dog or an hamburger or a "pepperoni slice" is a nice change.
The story is far fetched and the screenplay is full of plot holes, the single characters are not well outlined and the acting ... goes from low to barely good.
Yet, I still did like it, as i've said before, it is just the usual TV movie but it is set in Italy, done by Italians and it is an Italian story.
Perfect to watch if you want to relax, no sex, violence, car races and the such like.
Ciao!
