Plot: Luchino Visconti's Italian Neo-Realist parable is based on James M. Cain's "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Gino, a poor, uneducated wanderer, falls in love with Giovanna, the comely but unhappy wife of a fat, aging tavern owner. She longs to escape her unctuous, dull-witted husband Bragana but has no alternative means of survival. When Gino walks into her life, it's as if a world of possibility and passion has opened before her. So the newfound lovers kill the old man and plan their own escape. But once he's dead, a fretful Giovanna grows paranoid, fearing that everyone suspects them. Irritable and apprehensive, Gino also starts to lose nerve. Emotionally demoralized and psychologically unsettled, the fugitives finally realize the fate they've sealed for themselves.
