Featured review
I am puzzled that this movie does not have a single review either by professional critics or humble viewers such as I am.
Among others, in the last segment titled "The Trial of Phryne", Vittorio De Sica uses Gina Lollobrigida's "maggiorata fisica" (referring to her busts) in a stellar performance to save her from spending the rest of her life in prison. A performance as good if not better than anything Charlie Chaplin or Woody Allen ever produced.
The pieces in this anthology film are between the IMDB 6 and 10 range so I gave it the average of 8.
I tremendously enjoyed most of them. Very funny, excellent performance, and great music. Plus Aldo Fabrizi!
I hope Criterion will look at the movies of Alessandro Blasetti and release them on DVD, perhaps in the cheaper to produce Eclipse series.
