Alfredo, a timid young Italian, lusts after and woos the beautiful Maria Rosa. But when he manages to marry her, he discovers life is not nearly so blissful as he expected. Written by Jim Beaver <jumblejim@prodigy.net>
Dustin hoffman had showed his colors in acting back in the day already. The italian character was played by him fabulously and i have watched this movie in 2020 after some 48 years and its still relatable.
Dustin was a legend already he is a master of doing common man roles
