This movie is IMDB Top 250 for sure. The Criterion treatment, or at least a better quality DVD than what is available, would perhaps help toward these ends. Does anyone know if there's something in the works?
shareThis and Germania Anno Zero would make a good twin feature DVD
shareI agree.
I saw it for the first time, last year. It was part of a Roberto Rossellini marathon they had on TCM. I rate it 10/10 and it's my 10th favorite movie. It's also my favorite movie of the 1940's. It's too bad it didn't win that Oscar for Best Screenplay.
After watching those movies, Roberto Rossellini became my 5th favorite director.
