The Millionairess

I just watched The Millionairess starring Sophia Loren and Peter Sellers. The movie was filmed in 1960 and it is based on the play by George Bernard Shaw. The story line was good but the wardrobe was extraordinary. All dresses were made by Pierre Balmain. Need I say more. My favorite was the grey leather shirt dress with matching hobo and fedora. Rent the movie and let me know what your favorite Balmain moment!
