# A Breath of Scandal (1960)

1960 · 97 min · Comedy, Romance · Italy, United States


## Synopsis

A Breath of Scandal is a 1960 American/Italian international co-production romantic comedy-drama film directed by Michael Curtiz, based on the stage play Olympia by Ferenc Molnár. It stars Sophia Loren, Maurice Chevalier, and John Gavin, with Angela Lansbury, Milly Vitale, Roberto Risso, Isabel Jeans and Tullio Carminati. The film is set at the turn of the 20th century and features lush Technicolor photography of Vienna and the countryside of Austria. The costumes and lighting were designed by George Hoyningen-Huene. Loren disagreed with Curtiz's direction, so director Vittorio De Sica was hired to reshoot certain scenes with Loren after hours without Curtiz's knowledge.
