“A Plea for Passion” was also known as “The Bigamist.”

While Gigli does sing Ave Maria to his his once-spurned woman, this is in no way a religious film. And as a German film made during the Nazi era, it has some shocking examples of racist language and a scene in which the woman is shown “cavorting” with a black man (the n- word is used in a subtitle) to illustrate her supposed infidelity. I re-watched it yesterday in its Italian-dubbed version.

“The Flesh is Weak” is “My Widow and I”/“Lo sbaglio di essere vivo.”

This is the FIRST ad I’ve ever found of Rossellini’s Viaggio in Italia/Journey to Italy/Strangers playing in a New York area theatre during its initial availability…the bottom of a double bill in the Bronx. It was never reviewed during this period by The New York Times.

“The Flesh is Weak” was “Lo sbaglio di essere vivo”/“My Widow and I” with De Sica and Isa MIranda.

This was a popular Italian film in the US in various cities but disappeared during the war years when Italian movies were sequestered by the U.S. Government.

That’s a Japanese film that’s hard to see nowadays and should be shown on TCM.

Hard to believe a theatre of this size would run a subtitled French movie.
