Opens Monday, May 15

Following the national trauma of World War II, Italian society is in turmoil.

Ardent leftist Silvio Magnozzi (Alberto Sordi) spent the war as an anti-fascist guerrilla, and he’s dismayed to see the country he fought for lurching rightward politically and focusing on shallow materialism instead of civil rights.

Unable to keep his former job as a journalist, Silvio loses both his social standing and his wife (Lea Massari), until he attempts to back away from his principles.

In Italian with English subtitles.
Director: Dino Risi (Italy 1961) 118 min.
