Orfãozinhos do Barulho

There are some fun moments in this film but it goes more and more off the rails as it progresses. This is explained by the end, but it would have been better if it would have followed through with a complete story.

Still it's very interesting to see a young Totò, Carlo Campanini, and Galeazzo Benti, but even more it's so interesting to see a young slim Franca Marzi long before her role as Wanda, the co-prostitute and friend of Cabiria in Nights of Cabiria. As ever I'm also very happy to see Mario Castellani who shows up in most Totò films. I guess for me the appeal of this film is to see all of these excellent actors and actresses when they were younger.

This film is cute but it's not for everyone and I wouldn't recommend to anyone to go out of their way to see it.
