About Long Night in '43
1943. The affair between Anna, unhappily married to wheelchair-bound Pino, and deserter Franco unfolds in foggy Ferrara, intertwining with the power struggle taking place within local Fascist ranks that culminates in a massacre of civilians, including Franco's father – Pino sees it all from his window, but will he tell anyone?
Directed by Florestano Vancini, Long Night in '43 leans on a strong ensemble — Belinda Lee, Enrico Maria Salerno, Gabriele Ferzetti — 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 war titles of 1960.
