Two sisters: one resides in the quiet country with her handsome newly-married husband; the other leaves for the nearby town where she falls into the trap of prostitution. Her falling for an honest man, however, sees her too ashamed to admit what she has become and she returns to her home village, where she then becomes the object of desire for more than one pursuer.

PUNQ

Rated 23 Sep 2020

Oozing of sexuality and destructive passion. Originally a Roberto Rossellini picture, then put on the shelf in the middle of the war, before Marcello Pagliero took over changed things around. With such difficulties during production, it's not surprising the story feels a little chopped-up. But with its continued short peaks, a strong female presence in Elli Parvo and her nipple, the drama had me enticed. Didn't matter about its shortcomings, for what was happening on-screen was vibrant.
