Realistic! Powerful!"; written by Federico Fellini; about the true story of black American G.I.s who were stationed in Italy at the end of World War II, and who refused to return to the U.S. due to their far better treatment in Italy where there was not the same racial prejudice as in the U.S., and they would go AWOL, and often have interracial romances with Italian girls) starring Carla Del Poggio, John Kitzmiller, Pierre Claude, Giulietta Masina, and Folco Lulli. Note that Alberto Lattuada was one of the first of the Italian neo-realists, and this is apparently an extremely realistic depiction of the real life situation described, and its interracial romance scenes caused it to receive very limited distribution in the United States! Note that John Kitzmiller was a black African American who served in Italy in World War II, and he decided to stay there after the war, and he appeared in around 50 Italian movies!
