Never released in the United States, Liliana Cavani’s adaptation of Curzio Malaparte’s 1949 memoir features Marcello Mastroianni as the famed writer. At the time of the U.S. invasion of Italy, he was serving as an Italian liaison officer for the controversial General Clark (Burt Lancaster), whose invasion of Rome was heavily criticized. Claudia Cardinale and Ken Marshall are also featured in this unflinching look at life during the American occupation of Naples during World War II.
