Un garibaldino al convento: Directed by Vittorio De Sica. With Leonardo Cortese, María Mercader, Carla Del Poggio, Fausto Guerzoni. An old woman’s poignant reminiscence of her youth in a convent school: the happy moments, the sad ones and the tragic love for a Garibaldian.
“The film is of particular interest for two reasons: firstly, it is a film about the Italian Risorgimento, and yet a fairly a-typical one among those made during Fascism; secondly, it is a fairly intriguing early film by soon to be Neorealist master Vittorio de Sica, the author of such masterpieces as Shoeshine and Rome Open City.”
