"Bread, Love and Dreams" ( _it. Pane, amore e fantasia) is a 1953 Italian romantic comedy film directed by Luigi Comencini.

Plot summary

Vittorio De Sica plays the middle-aged marshal Marshall Antonio Carotenuto of carabiniers in a remote fictional Italian mountain village named Sagliena (actually the village of Castel San Pietro Romano, in Lazio). He's anxious to marry, and selects young Gina Lollobrigida as his bride; but she is already in love with De Sica's shy subordinate Roberto Risso. Mistaking her headstrong behavior as promiscuity, De Sica makes advances towards her, but she spurns him. Forsaking the girl to the arms of Risso, De Sica decides to settle for village midwife Marisa Merlini. Things become more complicated when Annarella, the midwife, start demonstrating his love to Antonio. She is hiding a secret and the Marshall soon will be in a restless situation.

Overview and response

"Pane, amore e fantasia" is usually considered the most famous example of "Pink neorealism".

The film contains what many critics regard as Gina Lollobrigida's best and most naturalistic performance. The film's popularity resulted in two sequels, both with Lollobrigida: "Pane, amore e gelosia "(US title: "Frisky") and the open-ended "Pane, amore e..." (English title: "Scandal in Sorrento").
