Ingrid Bergman, Mario Vitale.
Music by Roberto's son Renzo, making me think a little of Herrmann. Ph. Otello Martelli.
Bleak but interesting - I don't blame her for wanting to escape. Amazing fishing scene. She attempts even to seduce the priest - scandal!
Talking of which, Bergman fell in love with Rossellini, became pregnant and was blacklisted in Hollywood for years.
Quite understandably there are only a few hundred inhabitants now. Hoping Lipari nothing like it!
Tough, grim way of life presented in neorealist style (non-actors etc.) Neorealism came out of post-war problems and dissatisfaction with film industry by a group of film critics, therefore obvious influence on French New Wave.
There is a funny alternate ending - she does make it over the other side, and there's a fun party town..
