Alain E @AlainE Dec 24 A very nice, unknown in the US , neorealist masterpiece about women engaging in prostitution in post war Italy. Excellent acting, realistic situations and given the period, despite the subject, no nudity. The four women friends portray their characters convincingly. Mastroianni is very good as an immoral cad. I admit I knew nothing about the director who died early at 49 by drowning. Another excellent offer on YouTube, if one can navigate the chaotic organization of the site.

Definitely recommend. See more 02/23/2016 7.0/10, my review: http://wp.me/p1eXom-2fX See more 10/20/2009 Adua and her "colleagues" are on their own after their brothel is outlawed. As they struggle to learn a new way of living, they find that society keeps pressuring them to return to their old ways. I haven't been too thrilled with Signoret, but this is a role she was born to play, brassy and bold. The film manages to be quite entertaining, a relative rarity in neo-realism. The jazzy score helps, as does the fine camerawork, but it's really the characters and performances that keep it compelling. See more Read all reviews
