A doctor then arrives on the scene – Anthony Vernon (Antonio Casale) who took his pseudonym from Jesus Franco stalwart Howard Vernon – and Schurer falls for his charms.

Based on the diary Pope John XXIII kept between the ages of 14 and 18, his lifelong concern for tolerance, the underprivileged, and world peace is told. Rod Steiger, in the central role, acts as "intermediary" between the Pope and the audience, interpreting John's words, thoughts and actions. Steiger visits the actual places in which John lived, recreating the conditions, environment, and forces that affected his development. Through this unusual technique, we are brought close to an extraordinary man - one who's able to win the love of many people of all faiths.

Sound
Filmed in 1962 in Milan, on the Idroscalo: a sometimes affectionate gaze, other biting on a varied and popular humanity, distinct and joyful, that of the Italian economic boom.
Sound
Alberto Burri at work. The exceptional privilege of being able to see the artist at work, among glues, wooden strips and plastic panels, blowtorch and metal plates. The film version comes from a 35mm copy, a very damaged film especially with regards to sound.

The documentary moves around the amazing figure of Osiride Pevarello, a circus performer with a very long career in cinema, from Lattuada to Germi, from Ben-Hur to Fellini, up to Tinto Brass. In this exquisitely lively and unexpectedly dense short film, Osiride faces the world by showing off confident steps and assertive vocation, as if he had everything under control and it was not necessary to demand more. Until the beautiful ending, when the voices of the sleeping boys give shape to a desire: to have a home. Osiride, lying on the bed smoking his umpteenth cigarette, as always he cannot sleep before the return of his eighteen-year-old daughter, who works under mistress in a dartboard. We discover the melancholy of a man who would like to leave from there, to find four real walls for his family. The camera moves to let us glimpse the pope's image on the dresser; one should have faith in miracles
