Rome, Open City

Beschrijving
Filmed on the streets of Italy immediately after World War II, Rossellini's OPEN CITY (ROMA CITTA APERTA) shows the lives of a group of people living in Rome during the Nazi occupation. Anna Magnani plays a woman in love with a member of a resistance group; in helping him, she risks not only her own life, but also that of her unborn child. Aldo Fabrizi plays a priest who aids the anti-Nazi cause and pays dearly for his activism. Marcello Pagliero is an outspoken communist who runs afoul of the Nazis. And Harry Feist plays a German officer who has taken an Italian lover, but whose affection for Romans does not run especially deep.
