Excellent--she was very modest about her acting ability, but she was really quite a natural, hampered by poor roles and feeble story-lines. Her voice was never anything but brilliant.
Francis was born about ten years too late . She would have fared better in the old studio system of musicals . She at this time in the early 1960s was placed in female ensemble movies with non singing but taller actresses , even with fellow Italian Paula Prentiss . She basically portrayed as being the plain jane in several movies . In studio system she would been the star , the pretty one and the singer . She also would have been surrounded by shorter actors to hide her stature . Think of a Judy Garland , Jane Powell or even Lana turner .
Connie was always so fabulous. No matter which movie she played in or whichever song she sang, it would always be flawless!
CONNIE NO. 1
Very underrated movie and Connie looks beautiful in it. And of course that great voice
MARAVILLOSA CONNIE
I think that she had a natural comedic flair - the movies were kind of silly perhaps but Connie was always cute in them ~
wonder old movie..... great songs....
Obviously Paul was the crucial element in this situation.
