The movie–1950-60s. Set in Italy. Romantic comedy? Drama? I cannot recall. The actress. In one scene, she is wearing white framed sunglasses with black lenses, and smoking a cigarette in a holder. I am 99% certain this was not _Breakfast At Tiffany’s_ . It might have been Hepburn, but I doubt it. I saw a cartoon online that sparked this memory. Wouldn’t you know it–I can’t find it now.

Maybe, but I’m not certain. ---

How could anyone confuse Sophia Loren with Audrey Hepburn? They were at the exact opposite ends of phenotypes considered attractive in the fifties/sixties. ---

Could it be Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief?

> [@peccavi](#): > > Audrey Hepburn in Two for the Road No to both. The girl was brunette to black haired, & the two for the road is too recent. And Italy, plus using a cigarette holder, are both rock solid in my memory. Audrey’s white-rimmed sunglasses are pretty close, though. ---

On the Loren end of the scale was also [Gina Lollobrigida](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Lollobrigida). Not finding a relevant picture though. ---

Could have been Gina.
