Le bal (1931)
I've been sharing a room with the poster from this film!
I'm apartment/cat-sitting for friends and they have the original poster for this film hanging in their guestroom. The poster is HUGE, measuring about 7 feet X 5 1/2 feet. It features a man standing on one of the many bridges that cross the Seine in Paris. He's sadly tossing sealed envelopes off the bridge and they are trailing down to the water. They look like hundreds of invitations that were never sent. You can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. It has made me very curious about this film so that's why I looked it up on IMDb! I plan to take a photo of the poster and add it to this site for all to see. I'm sure it will enhance the background of this film.
Vulcano (1950)
The volcano is not the only thing that erupts in this film!
I viewed this film for the first time at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival. It was explosive! The intrigue, the jealousy, the betrayal, the hate, the love, the MURDER!! It was all there on one tiny island. I cried, I laughed, I cheered, I gasped! It was like an opera, but without the annoying singing. Anna Magnianni didn't have to say a word. Her face said it all. What an amazing actress. It made me realize what a great loss her death has been.
A gentleman, who had worked on the film, and spoke before the viewing, said that Anna had worked on the film while she was getting over a broken heart caused by the loss of her real life love, Roberto Rossilini, to Ingrid Bergman. I loved this film ! God bless the Tribeca Film Festival!
