Plot

Veteran thief Mario Forni arrives in Toledo, a small town in Italy, to search for an ancient, buried treasure. He poses as a house painter and falls in love with Madame Rinaldi, the owner of the local bordello. The treasure is discovered under a statue of St. Joseph in the ruins of the town's church. While working inside the hollowed base of the statue, he overhears Pia, one of Rinaldi's prostitutes, confess that she is pregnant and wants to keep the child. Mario responds from within the statue as if St. Joseph is answering and Pia faints. Mario leaves some gold coins with the fainted Pia. Pia convinces the townspeople that a miracle has occurred, while the corrupt mayor Pablo and Aguesta, the town banker, think that Pia can lead them to the treasure.

A bishop arrives to investigate the miracle. While Mario has confessed his hoax to Pia, the bishop still believes a miracle has occurred, since it has become the savior of Pia and the community. The statue collapses, revealing a cross of gold hidden underneath. While the townsfolk look forward to a new start, Mario and Rinaldi leave together with some of the treasure to start a new life somewhere else.

Production

The film was produced by Rogers's husband William Marshall in an attempt to revive her screen career. The production was filmed in Jamaica, West Indies, at a movie studio Rogers and Marshall had built as a joint venture with the Jamaican government. It was the only film that resulted from that venture.[3]

The film had a troubled production, with original director Victor Stoloff being replaced by Dieterle. It was Elliot Gould's first film role.[4]

Release

The film was originally a limited release in 1964 titled The Confession. It was then retitled Seven Different Ways and was finally released in 1971 as Quick, Let's Get Married.[5]

Critical reception

VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever said, "Quick, let's not watch this movie. Even the people who made it must have hated it; they waited seven years to release it."[6]
