Cesare Zavattini

"The first volume collects Zavattini's papers and a large selection of his published diary, along with articles, radio broadcasts, and television interviews. Unpublished sources include transcripts of his meetings with filmmaker De Santis during production of Roma, Ore 11 and extracts from Zavattini's production files. Brancaleone's critical introduction links these writings together thematically through a critical and contextual study."--
