Opinión de marcar912

I have to agree with the reviewer who saw "The Walls of Malapaga" recently on TCM. It was really almost unwatchable; only because I speak Italian and have a passing knowledge of French did I continue. The subtitles were impossible to read and the whole movie had a washed out, unbalanced look which didn't add atmosphere to the Neorealism, but instead distracted from it. As for the story, this is the second time I've seen this film and I do love the post-war depiction. Marta (Isa Miranda) and her daughter (Vera Talchi) live in the ruins of a bombed out building in Genoa and Gabin is Gabin. It's shameful that this film has not been restored; hopefully, someone will take it on and release a print that is worthy of it.
