Lucia kept her promise,
Saving the Jewish girl it's as if she saved her daughter,
The usual Mimosa embroidery, Come on, come on, it's late,
MURMUR
American cinema before the war it was real cinema,
Some fascinating stories,
Now the Italians are hitting us in the face of these ugliness
as if the war wasn't enough for us,
They are beautiful from behind too dad's chairs,
- Did dad make these too? - Not all, some,
He collaborated with the other carpenters,
- How beautiful is Alida Valli, ma, -Yes, she is beautiful,
But when she did those stories in Hollywood
she was a real star,
We saw that film with dad on the court with Gregory Peck,
Dark, too,
- Madam, will you allow me a word? - Say,
She has a beautiful daughter,
- Thank you, Let's go come on, - Wait, ma'am,
I work for Cinecittà and we are looking extras for an American film,
Her daughter should try, she earns good money for just one day,
- Yes, mom, please, - Shut up,
- What film is it? - It's a colossal in costume with Josephine Esperanto,
"Kill", Esperanto,
There's also Nan Roth, Sean Lockwood,
- Lockwood was Mac in today's movie, - Shut up,
- How much would the pay be? - Five thousand lire,
- Come tomorrow morning for the auditions, - "Hearings"?
- They have to see her before they take her, - So it's long, Let's go,
If I tell you that she has great possibilities, trust me,
Yes, of course,,, Let's go, come on,
Convince her why they get you, My name is Riccardo,
A BUS APPROACHES
- (in Neapolitan) The cinema, Elvira? - Why not? - What are you saying?
Say she becomes a famous actress,
Crazy things, even the actress, And can she do it?
- (Mimosa) Yes, - Shut up, Why, did Valli study?
She's an actress because she's beautiful, The trade is learned,
You know what she does too and doesn't Valli do it?
Let's try it, Rinaldo, this way the whim is removed,
- We need five thousand lire, - They have to get her first,
You have to see how he looked at her the lord of Cinecittà,
- Oh yes? - Iris is no less beautiful than Valli,
You are both beautiful, but so far the luckiest is you,
You had intuition, Angelo is perfect and you'll see what a beautiful wedding you'll make,
With the docile character you have, Who don't you get along with?
He loves you, he is kind,
Above all he is serious and he has a nice position in the police,
We couldn't refuse the offer,
You're 21, you don't have time anymore and someone like that isn't easy to find,
- As? - It's good,
Eh, well,,,
For Iris we can take a risk,
We must be patient and wait, sooner or later the opportunity arrives,
All right,
- He's convinced, - Yes! Yes!
Oh God, Mimo, what should I wear? I only have these rags,
- How were you dressed today, that's how he saw you, - Yes!
And how do I do my hair?
Like Stanwyck in "Sin's Flame",
Do you realize, Mimosa? Josephine Esperanto,
Let's read, let's read again,
There he is,
Read here,
"The visit to the Tivoli mill it was for Josephine Esperanto"
"the pretext to spend a happy day"
"far from the set of the blockbuster which is filming in Cinecittà"
"and above all from worries brought about by separation"
"who brought her recently in court in America,"
"We all know that despite his young age"
"even the third marriage of the star was shipwrecked"
"and now Josephine needs it to think calmly"
"to work and career,"
- You realize? - How beautiful you are,
> Mr, Rinaldo! Mrs, Elvira! - Who is it at this time? -Who is she?
> Angelo, I'm here now, - Get in,
- It's Angelo, > I want to give you the pastiera, - Come,
But your Angel? Wasn't he supposed to come tomorrow?
It's Angelo, he has arrived in Rome,
He doesn't know how to preserve pastiera and he brought it to us,
Come on, come and say hello, On!
Do me a favor, Close the door when you leave,
We'll let you out to get to know each other Better, Not in that sense, eh,
Have a chat, a walk,
- Are you going to sleep, dad? - Yes, - Do well,
Last summer, in town with dad, he took you everywhere,
He fell in love, A beautiful girl like you,
Dad asked you if you liked him, you said yes, Did you change your mind?
Tomorrow you take a walk and you will be as good as last summer,
Look how cute you are,
My goodness this one with these mirrors, She is afraid that they will break,
Where is this?
Good evening, Angelo,
Good evening, sorry for the time,
- God forbid, He wants to come in to cool off? - No thank you,
- Good evening, - Good evening,
It was just to bring you this,
My mother made it and I didn't want her to get wasted,
- Thank you, -You don't want to come in? She has had a long journey,
I prefer to retire and show up tomorrow properly,
Sure, see you tomorrow night for dinner,
I make a sauce which is the end of the world, At eight?

FEMALE VOICES AND LAUGHTER
(Video) Four days ago, on Capocotta beach
twenty kilometers south of Ostia
the body was found of a 21 year old Roman woman
whose name, from the first investigations, turns out to be Wilma Montesi,
Young man of modest origins, living with his family
at number 70 Via Tagliamento,
The girl's body, an aspiring actress
that she frequented the Cinecittà factories
in the hope of a part in the films produced each year
was found submerged half in the water, without shoes
stockings and garters, and with a jacket turned on its head supine,
The doctor, arrived from Pratica di Mare, makes his way through the crowd
to observe the body in good condition
and concludes that death it occurred due to drowning,
Thus, while the corpse remained on the beach constitutes
a macabre point of attraction in the gray stretch of Roman coast
the detectives question the man with hat and cane
than at dawn on Easter Eve found the body,
The witness, a game warden in the villa of the well-known Ugo Montagna
famous for the parties it hosts in his splendid farmhouse
collaborate patiently and respond to the investigators' questions
while a grieving woman gives evidence a cross on the beach
in memory of poor Wilma,
Miss, what are you doing there? You can't stay here, go away! Street!
- What are you doing, miss? - Excuse me,
(Josephine in English) Well, let's go,
Josephine Esperanto,

Only the mass of the people is naked, almost naked,
It's a hypocrisy, in Ancient Egypt the handmaids had their breasts exposed,
- At least according to historical sources, - But what is this film about?
It is inspired by a woman really existed,
The first and only female pharaoh of Egyptian history,
After the death of the king
with her newborn son that he couldn't govern
he reigned for over twenty years in peace and prosperity,
Once dead, out of shame of having been led by a woman
the new power has erased it every trace for posterity,
A few years ago they discovered her tomb and her story has resurfaced,
- Handsome, - Yes,
Even if in the film the guinea fowl she has become very naughty,
She poisoned and killed the pharaoh to take power,
When she was invaded from the mitan army
she fell in love with the enemy prince come to conquer the kingdom,
But the young prince falls in love of Pharaoh's daughter
the queen's stepdaughter, she doesn't fit and she fights to have it,
- It's a love story, - Let's say,,,
