Here's a film of real humanity, a glorious piece of romantic drama that exemplifies the very best of Italian cinema.

An amazing piece of cinema...I loved every minute of it...Alida Valli has the same kind of quality on-screen as Garbo—just magical—what a performance! I think you will also fall under the spell of this film.

​One of the most exciting movies to come along in years.
   —Jay Carr/Boston Globe
WE THE LIVING qualifies in every respect as film treasure...dazzling performances... Director Alessandrini brilliantly blends glamour, romance, politics, intrigue and danger...this is a film that avoids the predictable every step of the way...one of the best movies of the year.
