🇮🇹 Pane, amore e fantasia (1953) 👉IMDb: Comedy, Romance ⭐️Stars: Vittorio De Sica, Gina Lollobrigida, Marisa Merlini 👩‍🏫Synopsis: Gina plays Maria De Ritis, called “Pizzicarella la Bersagliera“ or “Frisky“ in the distributor’s translation. She is a feisty country girl in southern Italy’s Ciociaria area. During the course of the film she is pursued by the town’s new “maresciallo“ (local police chief), a lewd and lascivious woman-chaser played as only Vittorio De Sica could play lewd and lascivious, that is with great delight. At the same time Lollo is being flirtatious with the newly arrived young police officer from the north. Amorous complications ensue in what is essentially a modernized “commedia dell’arte“ piece with performers of enormous appeal.
