    • Trivia
      Some of the archive footage is of widely varying image quality, in fact one set of fictional feature film extracts, from the film featuring Ernest Borgnine, appears to be taken from a low quality VHS recording of the film being "quoted", rather than a higher level source.

    A reminder of the fallout of war
    Documentary about a British officer sent to Naples in 1944 soon after the Allied invasion. He finds a city devastated and starving. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.

    Scattered documentary without much structure or flow. Some interesting and disturbing real footage but includes many clips from Italian cinema too, shown as the backdrop to the diaries being narrated.

    This powerful documentary foremost reminds us of the horrors of war brought onto innocent civilian populations but also gives us an insight into the humanity and people of the time.
