Last film appearance of Francesca Bertini.
Alfredo Berlinghieri:
Drink some wine, eh?
Neve:
No, please, no.
Olmo Dalco:
She doesn't want it.
Alfredo Berlinghieri:
Drink, you little whore.
Alfredo Berlinghieri:
What the-?
Olmo Dalco:
Oh no, she's an epileptic!
In the movie, Olmo is depicted as coming back from World War One, while Alfredo, even though conscripted, manages to stay at home thanks to his father's connections. In reality, people born in 1901 (like Olmo and Alfredo) were never conscripted to fight in the war, as they were only 17 when it ended in November 1918. The last ones to be conscripted in Italy where those born in 1899.
In the UK, the movie was released by Fox video in 1992 as a twin VHS set. This ran for just over 303 minutes at 25 frames per second, the speed at which films are transferred for the PAL video format. This 18-rated release was not cut by the BBFC, but is missing the explicit masturbation shot when Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu visit the prostitute. Otherwise, it appears to be the complete Italian language version, and includes the scene where the two main characters play with their genitals as young boys.
