The list was created with the aim to report "100 films that have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978". The project was established by the Venice Days ("Giornate degli Autori") in the Venice Film Festival, in collaboration with Cinecittà Holding and with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

Featured review
I feel like the role Jacques Perrin plays here would have been a fairly easy one at times, because he (19 at the time) plays a character who's hopelessly smitten with Claudia Cardinale's (22 or 23 at the time) character. His character's older brother betrays Cardinale's character, a showgirl, and so he tries to right the wrongs his brother did, with consequences surprisingly more dramatic than comedic along the way.
I went into this expecting a romantic-comedy of sorts, but it felt more serious to me in all honesty. Maybe something was lost in translation, and further lost by the strange version I watched on YouTube, where the audio switched between Italian and English dialogue throughout for no rhyme or reason. It was still followable, because the Italian parts had English subtitles, but it was weird, especially when the changes happened halfway through a scene.
As for the film? It was fine. Felt a bit overlong and dragged here and there, but it's decently made. The two leads are very good, and Italian's a nice language to listen to (I preferred the YouTube version when it was in Italian). It was an alright movie. I can't be super enthusiastic or negative about it.
