About Il romanzo di un giovane povero
Massimo Odiot, Marquis of Champcey d'Hauterive, has inherited his father's high-sounding title and a sea of debt. To earn a living and support his little sister at boarding school, he is forced to accept a job as administrator for a wealthy bourgeois family, the Laroques. In his new environment, the young man exerts a charm that is not lost on Marguerite, the beautiful and proud heir of the new masters. She falls in love with Massimo, but the Count of Bellavan, who wants to marry her to get his hands on her wealth, makes her believe that Massimo is cheating on her.
Directed by Marino Girolami, Il romanzo di un giovane povero leans on a strong ensemble — Gustavo Rojo, Susana Canales, Arturo Bragaglia — 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 drama titles of 1958.

After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.

Heralding the pair’s subsequent work on some of the masterpieces of Italian neorealism, The Children Are Watching Us is a vivid, deeply humane portrait of a family’s disintegration.
