directed by Pietro Germi. Italy 1952 (104 min)

The sardonic and realistic eye of masterful director Pietro Germi explores the ambiguities of the Risorgimento and of history in general, revealing the tangle behind the scenes of Italy's struggle for unity, amid civil war and unchecked banditry.  His new take on historical drama owes a great deal to the pressing rhythm of John Ford's Westerns, so perfectly suited to the arid and hostile landscape of southern Italy with its burden of painful contrasts.
