THE MOVIEGOER

At the Kenmore

Anyone who did not see "Open City" and "Paisan" when they were first released several years ago should not miss the impressive double bill now playing at the Kenmore. Directed by Rossellini, these two movies of war-time Italy are great examples of the New Italian Film--exciting, brutal, and even at times humorous.

"Paisan," which is a series of six unconnected episodes tracing the Allied advance through Italy, set in the of the Po River. The other episodes, while sometimes over-sentimental, are also memorable. "Open City" is a tense account of the underground movement in Rome, but more than that it is the story of a man's willingness to undergo torture for his ideals.
