Sexy screen legend Sophia Loren is suing rightwing Italian politicians for using a still from her movie "Two Women" (1960) to stop the flood of illegal African
immigrants.
The still shows her being raped by Moroccan soldiers under the words, "Mai piu" (never again).
According to Variety, Italy's National Alliance party has plastered the posters all over Rome. The party was responding to a string of sex crimes involving undocumented
foreigners including a Moroccan.
But in response to the illegal use of the still, Loren's lawyer declared: "My client is not willing to lend her image to any individual party."
