Quote:
Made immediately following the end of the war, Blasetti’s Un giorno nella vita follows
the trend of many other Italian films from this moment in history, and investigates the
situation of Italian people locked in mortal conflicts on native soil. In this case, the setting is
a secluded Convent of Nuns, the inhabitants of which appear to have lived through the war
years relatively oblivious and unaffected by the events of the outside world. However, the
peace of the Convent is upset, when a group of Italian partisans led by Amedeo Nazzari
takes shelter on the grounds of the convent. The Germans are in close pursuit, and one of
the partisans is in dire need of medical attention. Elisa Cegani and Mariella Lotti are
featured in the cast of nuns, who decide to aid the wounded partisan, and slowly also come
to sympathize with the battle weary men.

The post Alessandro Blasetti – Un giorno nella vita (1946) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The film covers a hundred years in the lives of the Ricordi family, the Milan publishing house of the title, and the various composers and other historic personalities, whose careers intersected with the growth of the Ricordi house. It beautifully draws the parallel between the great music of the composers, the historic and social upheavals of their times, as well as the “smaller stories” of the successive generations of Ricordi.

Freely excerpted from Wikipedia:
In 1503, the French and the Spanish fight over the region surrounding the Sicilian castle of Morreale. Giovanna, the beautiful castellan, yearns to free herself from the foreign yoke and for this she wants to marry a brave knight. Graiano d’Asti deceives her by letting Ettore Fieramosca fight in his place and then bragging with Giovanna about the feat, thus managing to convince her to marry him.
After the wedding, Graiano reveals his true intentions and opens the gates of the castle to the French, getting to be appointed Duke of Morreale in exchange for the betrayal. Only Fieramosca heroically opposes the invasion, but is seriously injured. Assisted by Giovanna, attracted by him, he is transported by his comrades in arms to Puglia to the Spanish camp. Graiano and the French, led by Guy De la Motte, also get there, where soon a battle ensues. Fieramosca, misled and enraged by a deceit devised by Graiano to alienate him from Giovanna, causes the death of several of his former companions, and is later believed dead.
Guy De la Motte and his knights are eventually taken prisoner by the Spaniards.
De la Motte, although a prisoner, mocks and taunts the Italian knights who fight with the Spaniards. This provokes their reaction and Fieramosca’s return, and a challenge arises in which thirteen knights on each side participate. Among the French there is also Graiano, who gets killed.
The victory is of the Italians and Fieramosca, who prevails over De la Motte, spares all the French knights. He will thus be able to marry his beloved Giovanna and reign with her over Morreale.

Review (amazon.com)
Un celebre baritono incontra sul piroscafo che lo conduce dall’America in Italia, una non meno celebre pianista. Costei è ricchissima e superba. Il baritono se ne innamora ma soffre per l’alterigia di lei. Poiché la ragazza ha beffato alcuni cantanti che si sono esibiti durante un concerto a bordo, il baritono si rifiuta di cantare, ed anzi, se la ragazza non promette di starsene rinchiusa nel camerino della Scala, egli è deciso a non partecipare alle recite liriche per cui è stato scritturato a Milano. Per quanto altezzosa la ragazza, che ricambia segretamente i sentimenti dell’uomo, si reca durante il suo debutto nel camerino di lui. Intanto un famoso critico nega qualunque valore al nuovo cantante, anche perché è geloso dell’interessamento che la ricca ereditiera dimostra per lui. Il cantante, d’accordo con la direzione del teatro, si presenta in una nuova opera sotto il nome di un suo collega polacco, di cui il critico è entusiasta. Durante l’intervallo egli, alla presenza di tutti, svela la propria identità al critico stesso che aveva tessuto pubblicamente le lodi dell’interprete straniero. Dopo questa vittoria egli ha modo di conoscere i veri sentimenti della ragazza di cui è innamorato. I due concluderanno l’avventura con il matrimonio.

Quote:
[He] was a self-taught director and his contagious passion helped him leap over any type of obstacle that he faced. He had… written articles that called for the “rebirth” of Italian cinema. But then, suddenly, he found himself behind a camera and it was as if he had spent a lifetime directing films… Although some of the films were better than others, he showed remarkable flexibility, a mastery of all aspects of film production, narrative ability, a keen sense of rhythm, and a capacity to direct his actors, whether they were professional or recruited from the street. He was astutely aware of the signifying power of light and the composition of the image and… [h]e was also well versed in the Italian traditions of painting and figurative arts.

Late fascist chickflick or early lib melo – hard to tell. Early production title was Vagine di ferro.
