Comment: -1 Star for quality.
Very disappointed in the quality of the DVD. My wife and I saw this movie when it opened-great story, directing and acting and the photography was outstanding.
Amazon should be ashamed to put such a poor quality reproduction up for sale.

Summary: Avoid this bad quality DVD unless you're hard core Sophia and Marcello fan!
Comment: I had been looking for this film for years since it really moved me when I was a younger, particularly the beautiful musical score by Henry Mancini and the photography. This DVD is an insult to the director and the consumer.
IF you know Italian you can buy 'I Girasoli'. The quality does justice to the film BUT there are only RUSSIAN subtitles, not even English subtitles or dubbing. Guess we'll have to wait for a re-release.

Summary: Don't buy this copy
Comment: On recieving the copy of SUNFLOWER,from AMAZON.COM, produced by "New Star Video" I immediatly felt that I am in for a surprise, as the cover intrigued me. [...] It is also a shame that the photography of a great artist the like of Giuseppe Rotunna ASC found itself so degraded that I could not even keep watching it. The film is also jumpy. I am sure it is either a pirate copy or if it is a legal copy, such quality should not be be put on the market. Do we know enough about New Star Video. [...]

Summary: Something of a Bummer
Comment: There is perhaps one good scene in this film--when a smiling and buxom Sophia Loren seems to be spanking someone naked, who turns out to be a window manikin in the window manikin factory where she works. But don't expect the rest of the film to be this witty. In fact, it's hard to understand how a great director like DeSica would consent to have his name attached to this piece of drivel. The plot is melodramatic and predictable, the photography is kitschy, the acting (even Sophia's and Marcello's) mostly wooden--but then who could deliver such melodramatic dialog with any conviction? In addition, the DVD quality is truly execrable. Avoid subjecting yourself to an hour and a half of tedium, and instead see "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow" again . . .
