Anthony Quinn (an actor I'm very fond of) and Anna Magnani have both been nominated for an Oscar for this film which, for me, means nothing. Quinn and Magnani are both giant actors, but here they are not at their best. In fact, both are playing themselves. I've seen both of them in almost all their movies and I can figure it out. Watch them in "The Secret of Santa Vittoria" and you will understand. The actors in the secondary roles, Dolores Hart, Lili Valenty, Joseph Calleia, are much more convincing. Anthony Franciosa, as usual, is not convincing at all. A movie for the faithful fans of the two protagonists,
Magnani and Quinn, who will be disappointed.
