Featured review
Before soap operas became a thing we had these as movies.
(1951) Nobody's Children/ I figli di nessuno
(In Italian with English subtitles)
DRAMA
Co-written and directed by Raffaello Matarazzo adapting from the novel by Ruggero Rindi with manager of the quarry Guido Canali (Amedeo Nazzari) being manipulated and taken advantaged by his elderly mother as a result of him falling for a commoner, Addolorata (Yvonne Sanson) his mother does not approve of. It was a huge hit during it's time of release except that I liked the second one "The White Angel" even more. This was like, before soap opera's became a thing. Once the set up is there, you can almost predict what happened next.
