Not only was he sexy as can be, but he was really a good comedic actor. I don't know how Olivia resisted doing the horizontal bop with him on that one warm afternoon...

If she could turn down Errol Flynn (Charge of the Light Brigade) and Montgomery Clift (The Heiress), she could turn down Brazzi! But seriously, I liked the way they handled the slight romantic involvement between Brazzi and de Havilland. He was so suave and continental in the way he came on to her--and then, later when he kissed her and she said she wasn't offended, the way he made a gesture with his hands and his face lit up as he suggested they go for a drink! Good for a chuckle.

Absolutely!
On the other hand, it's precisely because she DID resist that their flirt is so appealing, in a subdued and classy manner..:)

Rossano Brazzi was a real charmer & a gentleman. Who can forget him.

He was wonderful. So charming, so romantic, and that accent was out of this world.
