Loren knocked on Hollywood's door by playing the supporting role of Phaedra in Jean Negulesco's adaptation of David Divine's novel, the melodrama Boy on a Dolphin (1957, with Alan Ladd and Clifton Webb). In the same year, she won her first Hollywood significant role as Frank Sinatra's sultry mistress Juana in Stanley Kramer's adventure film, based on the novel by C.S. Forester, The Pride and the Passion (... starring Cary Grant). She also played sultry prostitute Dita in Henry Hathaway's western Legend of the Lost (also in 1957, opposite John Wayne).

Loren's first Hollywood film was the 1958 Desire Under the Elms. During this year she worked with Peter Sellers in another film from which they recorded an album. One single from the album "Goodness Gracious Me" topped the charts in England.

In her de Sica comedies, Sophia seemed amused by her own lusciousness, as if she could not believe the foolishness of men trailing after her oregano-scented splendor. Like all transplants to Tinseltown, Loren was vulgarized for American consumption into an all-purpose earth mother. Unlike the other pneumatic wonders of her day (Bardot, Ekberg, Lollobrigida), Loren could do more than stick out her chest. Although her Hollywood output has been denigrated by critics, such a blanket dismissal overlooks tangy romantic comedy pairings with Cary Grant (Houseboat) and Gable (It Started in Naples) in which she holds her own as shining star, not as imported decoration; a competent soap opera, The Black Orchid, illuminated by Loren's dramatic skill; and George Cukor's celebration of frontier spirit and outdoor ham, Heller in Pink Tights, which fuses Sophia's sharp comic timing and technicolored awesomeness.
