"Dryly humorous, collection of tales about a poor Italian family and simple things in life. The book was recommended to me by an inspirational tutor at university and this collection, more than any, motivated me to try to write short screenplays."

"On some level this is an Italian postwar neorealist film about the plight of organized labor. But at its heart is a story about women turned against each other as they are reduced to a state of desperate sexuality in order to survive."

Movie Favorite

"This charming glimpse of the lives of the residents of a small Italian town paints a well-balanced picture of Fellini’s hometown. The characters are funny and unique. The stories are original. And the teenagers are as obsessed with sex as I was. :)"
