Set against the backdrop of the U.S. Army breaking through German defenses during the landing in Italy at the end of World War II, the director weaves a cohesive social realist film out of some Italian folktales triggered by the American forces' advance from the south to the north, depicting moving scenes that create a strong sense of realism and establish a new trend in Italian cinema... This is the second part of director Roberto Rossellini's post-war trilogy, the first part being "Rome, Open City," and the final installment "Germany Year Zero." As a pioneer of neorealism, Rossellini used almost no script and explicitly rejected the use of studios, costumes, makeup, and professional actors. The film consists of six short stories set during the later stages of World War II, focusing on various folk tales prompted by the Allies' landing in Italy and their advances against German forces from south to north. Rossellini vividly portrayed the true experiences of American soldiers, partisans, monks, prostitutes, and ordinary civilians during that tumultuous time, interspersing real war footage to evoke deep empathy from the audience.
