Yvonne Sanson (29 August 1925 – 23 July 2003) was a Greek film actress. She appeared in 46 films between 1946 and 1972, mainly working in Italy.

Biography

Née d’une mère turquo-polonaise et d’un père français d’origine russe, elle arrive en Italie à 17 ans pour effectuer ses études. C’est dans ce pays qu’elle effectuera l’essentiel de sa carrière cinématographique où elle excelle dans le personnage de matrone méridionale.

Son interprétation dans le rôle de la fatale Ginevra dans le Crime de Giovanni Episcopo d'Alberto Lattuada lui ouvre les portes du succès en 1947. Elle formera avec Amedeo Nazzari un couple cinématographique extraordinairement populaire en Italie dans les mélodrames de Raffaello Matarazzo. Dirigée par d’autres metteurs en scène, elle ne réussit pas à trouver de rôles de consistance, hormis celui de la femme délaissée dans Lo smemorato di Collegno de Sergio Corbucci (1962) et la mère bourgeoise du Conformiste de Bernardo Bertolucci (1970).

Sa popularité s’étant peu à peu évanouie avec sa jeunesse, elle espace ses apparitions sans se retirer de la scène. Dans les années 60, de sérieux problèmes avec le fisc la réduisent à la faillite et la contraignent à travailler comme traductrice. Elle fait ses dernières apparitions dans deux feuilletons télévisés, en 1973 et 1982.

Une jeune bourgeoise de 17 ans, Cristina, décide de s'émanciper du confort familial de ses parents aisés. Après une discussion avec sa mère, elle quitte la province, sans l'accord de son père, pour s'installer dans un quartier de Rome, au domicile d'une amie, Paola. Afin de gagner un peu d'argent, elle répond à une annonce dans un journal pour travailler en tant que masseuse à domicile. Elle couche avec son premier client qui lui conseille de continuer dans cette voie. Une petite frappe, Oskar, la prend sous son aile et devient son souteneur. Ce dernier lui dévoile son carnet d'adresses bien rempli avec les noms de certains notables de la capitale friands de femmes comme Cristina : jeunes, jolies et douées pour certaines choses. Elle accepte de travailler pour lui pour gagner facilement de l'argent plutôt que de passer des annonces dans les journaux. Devenue escort-girl, Cristina prend du plaisir avec ses clients, dont un professeur d'université raffiné, D'Angelo, qui la paie bien mais elle est obligée de partager ses gains avec Oskar. Jusqu'au jour où son petit amie, Marco, vient la harceler et que celui de Paolo lui fait du rentre-dedans. Tandis que son père violent lui demande de rentrer à la maison. Mais sa vie est bouleversée lorsque la police retrouve le cadavre de D'Angelo dans son appartement. Peu de temps après avoir couché avec Cristina, il a été égorgé. Un énigmatique meurtrier assassine tous ses clients un par un avec une lame de rasoir.

One day the two bitterly quarrel over a disputed land of the city: Don Franco would create there a public park, with the support of the communists, while Don Ciccio would fain give it to the municipality for other interests. So the two fathers decide to settle the matter with a game of football.

Django is a drifter who drags a closed coffin around with him. He rescues a young woman, María, who is about to be murdered by bandits led by Major Jackson (Eduardo Fajardo), the man whom Django is seeking and wants to kill in revenge for him for killing his wife. After killing most of Jackson's men, Django makes a deal with a Mexican bandit general, Hugo Rodriguez, who is in conflict with Jackson, and the two steal a large quantity of gold from a Mexican Army fort (where Jackson is doing business with a government general). When Rodriguez refuses to give Django his share of the haul, Django and Maria steal the gold. Unfortunately, the gold falls into quicksand. When Rodriguez catches up to them, María is shot (though she survives) and Django's hands are crushed by Rodriguez's men as punishment for being a thief. When the bandits return to Mexico, Rodríguez and his men are massacred by Jackson and the Mexican Army. After killing Nathaniel, Jackson goes looking for Django in a cemetery. However, Django, who has bitten off the trigger-guard of his pistol, kills Jackson and his five surviving men by pressing the trigger of his gun against the cross of the grave of a female acquaintance of Django's whom Jackson had killed and repeatedly dropping the hammer.
