Viewing Notes
I’ll give it points for dealing with important issues: post-war poverty, racial discrimination, etc., but it’s uneven and a bit melodramatic.
Interestingly, Federico Fellini was co-writer here and many of the cast and crew went on to work on VARIETY LIGHTS, his directorial debut. John Kitzmiller (he was Quarrel in DR. NO) was an actual American G.I. who settled in Europe after the war because he felt there were more acting opportunities for him there.
