After the Allies liberate Naples in 1943, the life for the locals is not
much easier, especially for women. Many sacrifice their dignity and
morale to survive.
In 1943, in Naples, Germans have just left the city when the Americans
arrive, commanded by Gen. Mark Clark (Burt Lancaster), having the Italian
Captain Curzio Malaparte (Marcello Mastroianni) as the liaison. The
population is starving, with women and children prostituting themselves for
food. Principessa Consuelo Caracciolo (Claudia Cardinale) is a noble Italian
friend of Malaparte, and seems to be very adapted to all situations. Private
Jimmy Wren (Ken Marshall) is the support of Captain Malaparte, and falls in
love with a local girl. Honorific Colonel Deborah Wyatt (Alexandra King), an
arrogant pilot and wife of an American Senator, comes to Naples to be
promoted and get votes for her husband and the American president. Malaparte
is assigned to show her the situation of the city.
This movie is very
strange, bizarre and violent. But although paradoxical, it is also
fascinating. It shows a defeated people, needing to sell sons and daughters
to survive. The last scene, when a tank passes over a local and Jimmy comes
to apologize to Malaparte is fantastic. It shows the relation between
winners and losers in a war. The cast has Burt Lancaster, Marcello
Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale, among others good actors and actresses.
