My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Bread, Love and Dreams (1954)

Vittorio De Sica stars in a charming romantic comedy directed by Luigi Comencini about a small Italian village getting a new Marshall.  The Marshal Antonio Carotenuto arrives and quickly become smitten with a young girl known as Frisky.  Yet Frisky is in love with a young soldier under the Marshall's charge.  Misunderstandings create great comic fire and this story really burns really hot.   Speaking of hot, Gina Lollobrigida who plays Frisky sizzles and is memorable enough to warrant a return as the same character in sequel.  Grade: A-
