Review

Lightweight picture of housing problems in Italy in 50s. Excellent natural performance by Gabriella Pallotta as Luisa (the newlywed wife)- only 18 at time of filming. Interesting views of Rome and the fishing village where her parents live, and overcrowded housing where Natale's family live.
