A Place for Lovers (Italian: Amanti) is a 1968 romantic film directed by Vittorio De Sica and based on the play Gli Amanti by Brunello Rondi and Renaldo Cabieri. The film stars Faye Dunaway as a terminally ill American fashion designer in Venice, Italy who has a whirlwind affair with a race car driver (played by Marcello Mastroianni).[1] The film was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and opened to negative reviews: Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called it the "most godawful piece of pseudo-romantic slop I've ever seen!" and Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times referred to it as "the worst movie I have seen all year and possible since 1926."[2] To date, the film has not been commercially released on DVD.
