Rossellini’s “Woman” (“Desiderio”) plus Gassman in “Shamed” (“Preludio d'amore”.) An Italian double bill that circulated widely, if slowly, during the 1950s and early 1960s.
Pietro Germi’s “The Birds, the Bees and the Italians” opened here on October 11, 1967. I have posted a newspaper ad for that program. The original title is “Signore e signori” (Ladies and Gentlemen.) It is quite an extraordinary satire on Italian sexual habits, by the same director who gave us “Divorce, Italian Style” and “Seduced and Abandoned.”
Was this theatre called the Cameo in the early 1930s? I have several ads for the Cameo from 1932. It is supposed to have been next to the Florida Orange Grove store, which was at 1083 Main Street, near Trumbull, which sounds like where the Parsons was located. I’m going to presume it was one and the same until someone corrects me.

I saw this program at a Massachusetts drive-in in 1958.

At the Carnegie Hall Screening Room.
The co-feature is actually “The Taming of the Shrew,” (La Bisbetica Domata) with Lilia Silvi.
The film was reviewed by Graham Greene in his published reviews from that period.
Subtitled Italian film program, rather unusual for any drive-in.
“L'età dell'amore (1953) and "Sensualità” (1952). The bottom film has Eleonora Rossi-Drago and Marcello Mastroianni. The top film has Aldo Fabrizi.
Good movie; great performance by Cardinale.

“Mafioso” wasn’t a Providence premiere at all, but “Golden Door” was. Two fine Italian films.
