As I mentioned in some older posts I made, I am Portuguese American and it was because my immigrant grandparents would play movies all day long from old VHS that I'd get exposed to movie stars who were at the top AAA list across all of continental Europe (some even managing to penetrate Britain like Ingrid Bergman). Easily their favorites were Sophia Loren and Alain Delon (grandma's crush).
So Sophia Loren and Alain Delon I grew up with and even today there's always a movie of either being played at home. I practically seen every movie of both movie stars.
I really have to ask out of curiosity-how come they never co-starred as leads in a project? Esp since Alain had acted in some Italian projects and was just as much a sex symbol for women as Sophia Loren the bombshell of European cinema?
Hell my grandma and grandpa would even sometimes joke around they wish they were younger again so that they can make use photos they have of Alain and Sophia to turn themselves on in foreplay before they'd go have sex in bed (which they tell me they used to do before they'd go creating my various dad and numerous aunts and uncles of my family lol).
So I'm honestly surprise esp since I seen a Youtuber claim Alain Delon is not just France's star closest in stature and universal fame to Sophia Loren but even call him the closest thing we got to a male Sophia Loren esp regarding non-English speaking actors………..
Why was there never a movie made with Loren and Delon as the leads? I can easily see an action movie involving them under top billing as the romantic lovers in subplot! -
