Great story, great cast and superb cinematography

I saw this movie when I was a child and liked it. Then saw it many times on TV and at a special screening in New York.The best thing about it I discovered is the dialog. It's smart and funny - of course, the script was written by a Pulitzer prize winner: John Patrick.
The film was nominated for an Oscar as Best Picture of 1954, and actually won for Best Cinematography and Best Song
The cast is marvelous - most outstanding are Jean Peters and Rossano Brazi (who are the best looking couple and also share the best story of the three featured in the film)and Clifton Webb, who delivers his lines full of sarcasm and innuendos with perfect timing.
The film's most valued asset is its photography by Milton Krasner. Although many will remember "Roman Holiday" as capturing the best of Rome, this film is much more superior visually - and in color and glorious wide screen Cinemascope.

a great film

Clifton Webb and Dorthy Macguire are great in thos film, a lovely romantic couplle in "Three Coins in the Fountain," which takes place in Rome. It's so romantic and beautiful scenery. The songs are lovely and it's well worth seeing, just for the music alone.

A working girl's dream job!

I recently bought this tape again after I wore out my old one! The scenery in this film is truly beautiful as well as that of the many fountains. The movie starts off with three young ladies, one of which just arrives in Rome to start a new job taking over for another girl returning to America to be married. All three young ladies go through the trials and errors of finding love interests in the romantic city. One finds her handsome prince, one finds a hunky, floundering student and the third falls for her novelist older boss. All three ending up with their heart's desire. Guess those coins in the fountain paid off! Sure wish it was that easy these days!! Truly a delightful film.

Seeking Happiness with Three Coins in the Fountain

There's no denying the romantic appeal of this movie but it is missing one thing. A long time ago I had the opportunity of seeing the widescreen edition on cable (I believe the movie was filmed in Vista Vision, a widescreen format). Having seen the movie a number of times before I was absolutely alarmed by the amount of picture missing from the frame in the formatted edition (next time you watch the film take note, generally there is at least one person missing from the frame). Viewing the widescreen version adds so much to the film. That is the reason (and the only reason, mind you) why a star omitted from the rating of this video. I will have to throw a coin in the town square fountain and wish for a widescreen copy.
