watch Due soldi di speranza (1952). the film is about semi - rural Italy.It depicts that despite poverty the robustness, humor and music exists.The songs Carmela sings.........and best scenes are how people up the hill tease her and she answers back. Both the lead actors are very young 21 and 17 but the director has extracted powerful performances.Vincenzo Musolino died very young,in this movie he looks very handsome older and mature than his age at that time .Carmela's character is totally unpretentious about her love ,thats out of ordinary .Filomena Russo is great in her rustic and loud way in her only movie .
