Our archive screening celebrates one of Luigi Comencini’s greatest early films. A wonderful, classic comedy, it details the improbable flirtations of a police chief (an irrepressible Vittorio De Sica) with a midwife and a wayward young woman in a small country village. The film also features a standout performance by Gina Lollobrigida.
