Movie Poster From The Ex-Yugoslavia 1960, though the movie is Italian

Get out! Did you know that once upon a time, Gina Lollobrigida played a Brooklynite? That's hard to believe, right? But she did , in Anna Di Brooklyn. The movie was also known as Fast And Sexy! Isn't that a hoot?
Made in Italy in 1958, it was directed by Vittorio DeSica who also has a small role as the village priest. I just have to see this movie. Would you happen to know where I can find a copy?

Here is a movie review by Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

In this occasionally amusing frolic, Gina Lollobrigida plays a sexy widow who returns to Italy from New York following the death of her husband. Her wealth and good looks entice all the men in her small village except for the one she really wants, the town blacksmith (Dale Robertson). Giuseppe Rotunno's warm cinematography and the irresistible Lollobrigida make this one worth seeing, while the screenplay (by Ettore Margadonna, Luciana Corda, and Joseph Stefano) manages to be clever without being smirky. Look for a funny bit by Vittorio DeSica, who supervised some scenes, as a loquacious priest. This film is also known as both Anna of Brooklyn and Fast and Sexy. ~
