    • Quotes

      Ancilla: That's a beautiful story. Really... If I think about it... I'd like a story like that too.

      Olmo Montaner: For a story like that, you have to start from the beginning.

      Ancilla: [looking at a wooden sculpture] Listen... you didn't chose this one at random...

      Olmo Montaner: Well, I was thinking... it's time to start a family.

      Ancilla: Yes but... it takes two people to start a family.

      Olmo Montaner: But there are two of us...

    VAJONT a fine movie
    This movie shows in a very fine manner the corruption that is spread wide world in many fields. Renzo Martinelli made a movie plenty of secondary stories that enhace the main plot. All the characters are well displayed and specially Laura Morante in her character of the journalist Tina Merlin, also Anita Caprioli (Ancilla) and Jorge Perugorria (Olmo Montaner) are really in mood and give to they characters a very temperate resolution. I shall mention also Michel Serrault (Carlo Semenza), Antonio Fabbri (Prof. Ghetti), Federica Martinelli (Margherita) and in fact all who worked in this movie. You did it very well, really. The special effects are also a fine and dedicated work without exaggeration. The music well balanced and enhance the whole movie. Sound very good, and photography also fine. A very good work that deserve the acceptance of all kind of audience that like good, interesting, and well done movies. Finally I am going to watch it very carefully to see about the two goofs you mention.
