The story

The film begins in the dark, narrow streets of Naples, a city of archways, weathered stone steps, laundry hanging overhead, and patches of mist that soften the lamplight. The police — carabineers — make their rounds in pairs, their boots echoing on the cobblestones. Frank Borzage's direction leans into the oppressive beauty: slender iron railings, crumbling arches, and the occasional sudden shaft of sunlight cutting through shadow.
