Domani è troppo tardi
director: Léonide Moguy actor: 维托里奥·德西卡 / 露易丝·麦斯威尔
other title: Domani è troppo tardi / 明天太晚了
(烂番茄网站简介)Domani e Troppo Tardi is the first of two Leonide Moguy films dealing with the travails of postwar Italian life; the second was Domani e un altro Giorno. The story concerns the efforts to provide a proper sex education for youngsters. Progressive schoolteachers Landi (Vittorio de Sica) and Anna (Lois Maxwell) have a profound influence on two of their young students, Mirella (Anna Maria Pierangeli) and Franco (Gino Leuri). The two kids are enamored of one another, and decide to experiment with some of the knowledge they've gleaned in the classroom...with devastating results. Eighteen-year-old Anna Maria Pierangeli, who makes her film debut in Domani e Troppo Tardi and also appeared in Domani e un altro Giorno, later changed her professional name to Pier Angeli. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
La schiava del peccato (1954) [Movie] Douban
director: Raffaello Matarazzo actor: Silvana Pampanini / Marcello Mastroianni
Two trains collide: who said that rail was a safe mode of transport? A young Pole girl becomes an orphan and a semi-whore, and Mara (Silvanna Pampanini) would like to adopt her. Alas she lives a life of sin and she and the nuns who take care of the girlie are worlds apart. So she decides she would start over, leaving her pimp (Franco Fabrizi) behind and trying to get a job, which is no easy task. No sooner has she found work in a factory than her former lover (who gave her a child who died when she was young: hence her longing to have another one) turns up. He is played by Marcello Mastroianni who was supporting at the time. Of course he thinks that the new child is his own and as his wife cannot conceive...
This "slave to sin" (check the title) suffers, suffers and suffers; every time she seems to work it out, every time something happens. The movie is a long flashback told by an old woman who stole a medallion in the hotel where she works as a linen maid.

We the Living (1942) [Movie] Douban
Noi vivi
director: 戈弗雷多·亚历山德里尼 actor: 阿莉达·瓦利 / 福斯科·贾凯蒂
other title: 我们活着的人 / Noi vivi
The time is the Russian Revolution. The place is a country burdened with fear - the midnight knock at the door, the bread hidden against famine, the haunted eyes of the fleeing, the grublike fat of the appeasers and oppressors. In a bitter struggle of the individual against the collective, three people stand forth with the mark of the unconquered in their bearing: Kira, who wants to be a builder, and the two men who love her - Leo, an aristocrat, and Andrei, a Communist. In their tensely dramatic story, Ayn Rand shows what the theories of Communism mean in practice. We the Living is not a story of politics but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the Red banners and slogans. It is a picture of what dictatorship - of any kind - does to human beings, what kind of men are able to survive, and which of them remain as the ultimate winners. What happens to the defiant ones? What happens to those who succumb? Who are the winners in this conflict? Against a vivid panorama of political revolution and personal revolt, Ayn Rand offers an answer that challenges the modern conscience. Written by The Publisher of "We the Living"
