Light in the Piazza is in very strange, sometimes uncomfortable thematic territory. The initial discomfort in Yvette Mimieux and George Hamilton's romance eventually becomes easy to accept because they have such astonishing chemistry together. There are moments where they share the screen that are breathtakingly heartfelt.
Olivia de Havilland is also superb, particularly late in the film when she starts to assert herself as a strong, alluring older woman. She gives her character's moral dilemma real depth. Guy Green makes brilliant use of the Florentine scenery.
