Although Maglietta's appealing as Rosalba, cowriter and director Silvio Scoldini's movie is a little too shopworn and pokey to be more than a respectable European diversion.

It's almost as if Solidini ... figured that all he had to do was put a crowd of eccentric characters together and magic would occur.

As for star Licia Maglietta, the appeal of the film is nearly all in her presence.

It's all very sweet, but the film goes in too many directions.

A slight tale, charmingly told.
