Directly from the archives of Istituto Luce a roundup of
faces and emotions evoked in a period of time, in between
the 50’s and 60’s.
Through a rigorous and detailed research well known
figures such as Vittorio De Sica, Anna Magnani, Gina
Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren are shown in public and
private displays.The film star of all stars, Marlon Brando
draped across a hospital bed as he generously gives blood
under the vigilant eye of Liz Taylor who is in evening wear
and sporting a pagoda hairstyle to match...
These famous and irreplaceable faces are not the outline
of this short recollection, but the succession of faces
around them of figures, who for one short minute left
their anonymity behind and took the spotlight in movie
parties, talent contests such as:‘ Miss Fregene ‘,‘ The
Ladispoli Prize’,‘ Mr.Muscle’ and so on.., and were just as
quickly forgotten.
