La carne e l'anima

Directed by Vladimir Strizhevsky

With Isa Miranda, Massimo Girotti, Mario Ferrari, Aldo Silvani and Cele Abba

This melodrama was directed by an émigré Russian from a story by Corrado Alvaro and Emanuele Caracciolo. The latter was murdered by the Nazis in the Fosse Ardeatine massacre, before the film’s post-war release. Featuring Miranda and Girotti prior to neo-realist stardom.
