amore in città (1953)

through six short stories the authors analyze the various aspects of love, tragic or grotesque. 'love that pays' is documentary with interviews with prostitutes. 'tried suicide' is an investigation of people who tried to kill themselves out of love. 'paradiso per quattro ore' is the story of the little dreams of soldiers and waitresses in a suburban dance hall. in 'marriage agency' men and women go to an agency to find a soul mate. in 'story of catherine' a girl without a job leaves her young son and, from a distance, looks desperately at who will take it. in 'the italians turn around' men turn to the passage of beautiful and provocative girls.
