Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This conventional scrapbook biography of legendary actress Anna Magnani features clips from her performances in vaudeville, neo-realist movies and Hollywood, alongside interviews with such directors as her former husband Rossellini, and De Sica and Visconti. Apart from trotting out showbiz paeans to her human warmth, dignified resistance to '50s sex-typing and so forth, it manages glimpses of a complex life scarcely touched upon before.
