About We the Living, Part One

Directed by Goffredo Alessandrini, We the Living, Part One leans on a strong ensemble — Fosco Giachetti, Alida Valli, Rossano Brazzi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1942.
