Rossellini’s landmark film “Paisa'” (Paisan) had its opening run beginning here on March 8, 1947 after a premiere gala the day before at the Capranichetta. It ran here and at the Imperiale.
On March 15, 1950 the popular soap opera film “Catene” opened here and at the Europa. Directed by Raffaello Matarazzo.
On May 18, 1940 the Capranica was showing the French film “Belle etoile” under the title “Sotto le stelle.” It starred Michel Simon and Jean-Pierre Aumont. Also on the program, according to the listings in Il Messaggero, were variety acts that included one L. Dolliveri.
I saw Andrzej Wajda’s film “Les possédés” here on July 12, 1989. It bore the title “I demoni.” It was the only time I ever visted this theatre. I remember the interior being gorgeous.
