I totally agree. In
Two Women Sophia proved that she could be a serious actor, and showed her range. IMO most of her films were pieces of 'fluff', and eye-candy for lecherous, drooling males...that said, however, who could forget her American debut in Boy on a Dolphin as she emerges from the deep with that see-through, wet, clinging shirt that clearly showed her breasts, and, *gasp* nipples too!!! Quite the scandal for the 1960's!!! Unfortunately for Sophia, her sultryness and beauty were a detriment as far as her acting career went - given the chance and proper scripts, I think she would have been a tremendous dramatic actor. Check her out in The Black Orquid (1958) with Anthony Quinn. I thought she was great in this.
