, 1h32 GenresDrama, Romance ActorsDoris Duranti, Paolo Carlini, Umberto Sacripante, Isarco Ravaioli, Anna Maria Ferrero, Marcello Mastroianni Rating67% A Naples en 1647, le vice-roi imposa des impôts qui frappèrent le peuple et suscitèrent un mécontentement généralisé. Tommaso Aniello, dit Masaniello, un jeune pêcheur de Portici, fomente la rébellion et la police tente de le capturer. Il vit avec sa sœur Lucia, qui est amoureuse d'Alfonso sans savoir qu'il est le fils du vice-roi. Le fait historique de la révolte de Naples menée par Masaniello est l'occasion d'une revisitation naïvement romancée et mise en images avec une médiocrité absolue.

, 1h43 Directed byDavid Miller OriginUnited-kingdom GenresDrama ThemesFilms about sexuality, Rape in fiction ActorsJoan Crawford, Rossano Brazzi, Heather Sears, Lee Patterson, June Clyde, Bessie Love Rating63% With her marriage to womaniser Carlo Landi (Rossano Brazzi) in ashes, wealthy and childless Margaret Landi (Joan Crawford) finds an emotional outlet in patronizing a 15-year-old deaf, dumb, and blind Irish girl named Esther Costello (Heather Sears). Esther's disabilities are the result of a childhood trauma and are psychosomatic rather than physical. As Costello makes progress with Braille and sign language, she is seen as an example of triumph over adversity. Carlo gets wind of Margaret's new life and re-enters the scene. He views Esther as a source of cheap financial gain and arranges a series of exploitative tours for her under a mercenary manager Frank Wenzel (Ron Randell). One day when Margaret is absent from the Landi apartment, Carlo seduces and rapes the now 16-year-old Esther. The shock restores the girl's sight and hearing. When Margaret learns of her husband's business duplicities and the rape, she consigns Esther to the care of a priest and a young reporter who loves her (Lee Patterson). Margaret then kills Carlo and herself.
