Una Giornata Particolare
A Special Day
(Italy/Canada, 1977, 108 minutes)
In 1938, on the day Hitler visits Rome, a wife and mother of six left home alone makes the acquaintance of the handsome bachelor living across the courtyard. Quiet, subtly political melodrama; for all intents and purposes a two-hander that eschews any theatrical bent and effectively casts its stars against type.
Carlo Ponti presents a Compagnia Cinematografica Champion/Canafox co-production. Starring Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni; with John Vernon, Françoise Berd. Directed by Ettore Scola; produced by Carlo Ponti; story and screenplay by Ruggero Maccari and Ettore Scola, with the collaboration of Maurizio Costanzo; music by Armando Trovaioli; director of photography, Pasqualino de Santis; production designer, Luciano Ricceri; costume designer, Enrico Sabbatini; film editor, Raimondo Crociani.
