(1939) Each Dawn I Die
CRIME DRAMA
Adapted from the novel by Jerome Odlum that has a reporter, Frank Ross (James Cagney) of "The Record" newspaper, exposing financial crimes from a construction company. And for retaliation, the company's goons would then frame Frank by setting him for a serious car accident that killed three people. And while Frank is serving time in prison, it is not long before he builds a rapport with well known convict, Stacey (George Raft) who intends to make amends with a prison snitch, Limpy Julien (Joe Downing). Franks eventually finds out his first lead and makes a deal to help Limpy escape in exchange to track down a credible witness, Shake Edwards (Abner Biberman) who was present when Frank was knocked out and framed.
It is way better than "Angels With Dirty Faces" both movies consist to have similar themes of sacrificing and evolving. It also a response to "I Was a Fugitive of the Chain Gang" that starred Paul Muni. After my second viewing , the movie still holds up.

(1982) Malamore
DUBBED
WAR DRAMA
Co-written and directed by Eriprando Visconti that has dwarf, Marcello Giammarco (Jimmy Briscoe) expensive villa/ manor used as hospital. And( upon him going downstairs he then purchases a luger he claims he got it from one of the German soldiers before he visits a brothel. He builds a rapport with one of it's clients, Maria (Nathalie Nell). After bringing her some sweets other ladies eventually show up, he then becomes uncomfortable and leaves.
I thought it was going to be subtitled but it turned out to be dubbed. It is only worth watching for it's controversy.

(2005) Melissa P.
(In Italian with English subtitles) BIO DRAMA
Adapted from a memoir or autobiography "One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed" by Melissa Panarello detailing at least a year of her journey of sexual experiences by the month of the weather. Co-written and directed by Luca Guadagnino that opens with Melissa played by María Valverde as she is also the narrator starting with "Summer" as viewers are hearing what she has written on her diary with the last day of the school year, both her and her best friend, Manuela Bozzini (Letizia Ciampa) are invited to Daniela's pool house. Daniela also happens to be the guy Melissa has a crush on, he is played by Primo Reggiani, and in the movie, he appears to be arrogant, self absorbed and an ego maniac, which rises to the question why would anyone be attracted to someone like that in the first place. And throughout the entire movie Daniele treats her terrible. Anyways, there is someone who is capable to treat and be with her for the right reasons, his name is Marco De Angelis (Nilo Mur) for it is just a matter of time of when she notices him. The more Melissa's sexual awakening is ignored by her mom as her dad is always away because of work required him to be overseas, the only family member she has the most rapport with happens to be her grandmother, Elvira (Geraldine Chaplin). Melissa's tart behavior worsens as soon as her grandmother is sent to a care home.
I do not know how the author herself thought about the movie, but I thought it did a poor job addressing how Daniele's other peers thought about him since he is supposed to be the wealthiest or the one girls want the most as their are only two teens on Melissa's peer group who are tall and appear to treat female counterparts like dirt. And if anyone were to watch this, you can tell the author herself was not even credited as a consulted since the movie was about her and what she did written in her diaries/ memoir.
