A Countess From Hong Kong (1967) is a funny classic comedy by Charlie Chaplin about a Russian stowaway who tries to get to America, causing an endless stream of misunderstandings and trouble
for a staid millionaire diplomat who has no choice but to help her to avoid further complications.
Costume designer Olga Lehmann provides a great choice of clothes for the limited amount of different
looks Sophia Loren´s character is able to wear. Clearly, the Italian actress is a stablished sex symbol and wears a breathtaking dress in the film. But there's probably nothing as adorable, stylish and sexy at the
same time as watching her in a pyjamas borrowed from Marlon Brando.
If you want to watch the whole pyjama scene, go to minute 10:20.
