Here, the truth behind the legend is revealed - her chance meeting with producer Carlo Ponti, becoming his "protegee", acting in some of his films, becoming his mistress and eventually marrying him. Also covered are Sophia's remarkable personal relationships with Cary Grant, Peter Sellers, Richard Burton and others who fell under her spell.
