Always seemed like an oddly overlooked film. DeSica directed, Loren is very effective and won an Oscar, Belmondo solid in a small role. Terrific film of what war evils are really like. Yet I almost never hear it mentioned. The title may appear simplistic, but it's a film about how the daughter becomes a woman.
Worth tracking down.

So we’re just calling everything the worst cover now? If nothing else, it fits the movie perfectly

I always like a design that is left-aligned rather than centered like common coverart

Is he about to break that old lady’s neck like he’s Schwarzenegger in True Lies?

Maybe it's already been posted, but this one has always made me crazy. Awkwardly shoving Casper Van Dien's 15 fleeting minutes of fame into the empty space between the girls, standing on a chair in the middle of the dancefloor apparently.
EDIT: Wait a second....that is Matt Keeslar, not Casper Van Dien...did Matt Keelar even have a 15 fleeting minutes of fame? Not to my knowledge...what the heck? Why is he shoehorned into the theatrical poster? I need the lore.

I remember him from Gregg Araki's Splendor and Scream 3. One of a huge wave of blandly attractive actors in their 20s the late '90s and early '00s foisted on us. I thought he was in Legally Blonde too, but that was Matthew Davis. Casper van Dien is not even in The Last Days of Disco. He was too busy being "Crewcut Hunk" in Casper Meets Wendy.
I hope Keeslar's doing well in his new career as an instructor of urology!
