people always conjure up Welles as the greatest actor director. He wasn't. De Sica not only was far far far the better actor, but overall his films stack up far better than Welles, and i suspect Welles would have been the first to nod a yes, yep, De Sica just flat outran me. The only other one in their league is Huston, though even he I would not quite jput in De Sicas actor director niche: great in Chinatown and his movie ouvre is as good, but De Sica, for me still carries the day even there
Marocchinate (Italian: plural of marocchinata, roughly translatable as "Moroccans' deeds") is a term applied to the mass rape and killings committed during World War II after the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy by Goumiers, Moroccan colonial troops of the French Expeditionary Corps (CEF[1]), commanded by General Alphonse Juin.
It's about allied troops violating Italian women, after they defeated German troops (the allies, not the women, of course). The whole is known as "Marrochinate". In Wikipedia: "Marocchinate is a term applied to the mass rape and killings committed during World War II after the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy by Goumiers, Moroccan colonial troops of the French Expeditionary Corps (CEF[1]), commanded by General Alphonse Juin."
woooohoo this is one of my favorite old movies wooo thanks so much for uploading it. I wished they made movies like this nowadays..my generation sucks
This film earned Sophia Loren the Oscar for Best Actress of 1961. It was the first time an Oscar was awarded to a performance in a foreign language film.
Shocked to be nominated, Sophia didn't attend the ceremony because she was afraid she'd faint in the audience. So she decided to stay at home in Italy. However, she did listen to the Oscars on the radio and was excited to have won.
The award was presented to her at her home a few weeks later.
I don't know if you know what it's about by now. I haven't replied bc I thought someone else would. It's about a mother in Italy during World War II trying to protect her child.
The story centers on Cesira (Loren), a widowed Roman shopkeeper, and Rosetta (Brown), during World War II. To escape the Allied bombing of Rome, Cesira and her daughter flee southern Lazio for her native Ciociaria, a rural, mountainous province of central Italy.
very sad :(

Do you have the Italian version with English subtitles? I feel like a lot is lost in translation with this version.
