Theatrical trailer for the
1961 Italian drama 'Two Women'
starring Sophia Loren, Raf
Vallone, Jean-Paul Belmondo
and Eleanora Brown. Cesira
(Loren), a devoted mother and
a successful small business
owner, in this Vittorio De
Sica film, a dramatic
adaptation of Alberto
Moravia's touching novel,
'Cesira'. When the Allies
begin bombing Mussolini's
Rome, Cesira and her
12-year-old daughter, Rosetta
(Eleonara Brown), travel by
train and foot to the
countryside where Cesira was
born. The two women find food
and shelter with other
fugitives, and stand witness
to some of the horrors of war.
After the Allies land and head
North from Rome, Cesira and
Rosetta begin the long walk
home. Resting inside of a
Church, mother and daughter
are discovered and gang raped
by a cruel band of soldiers.
Rosetta is traumatized, and
temporarily becomes mute.
Recovering from her initial
shock, Rosetta displays a
hardened licentious persona.
But when Cesira informs
Rosetta that a boy she adored
has been killed, Rosetta's
true feelings come to the
surface in an outpouring of
grief. Loren won a Best
Actress Oscar as well as many
other prizes for her superb
performance in the film.
