"Era Notte a Roma" is a 1960 Italian war film epic directed by Roberto Rossellini. In France the film is known as "Les Évadés de la nuit", and in the USA "Escape by Night". It is also known internationally as "Blackout in Rome".
Overview
In keeping with his previous film "Generale Della Rovere", filmmaker Roberto Rossellini pursues a wartime theme in this 145-minute "personal epic" Era Notte a Roma. The story concerns three Allied POWS, who escape from their camp and hide out in Rome. The trio is given shelter by a beautiful young woman. With something tangible to fight over, the three prisoners' national chauvinism (one is Russian, one English, one American) simmers to a boil. For reasons which remain obscure, Era Notte a Roma was never initially given a widespread American release.
