Our next screening (on Sunday Feb 11) is a real lost classic of comic (!) Italian neo-realism from 1960. Adua e le compagne (or Adua and Her Friends aka Hungry for Love) was directed by Antonio Pietrangeli and stars Simone Signore and Marcello Mastroianni. It was voted Best Italian film of the year in 1960 and won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Falling unemployed, thanks to the 1958 Merlin Law closing all the brothels in Italy, four former prostitutes open a restaurant on the outskirts of Rome ... with unexpected consequences.
