Wild Is the Wind
First screened in April 2010

---

Director: George Cukor. Cast: Anna Magnani, Anthony Quinn, Anthony Franciosa, Lili Valenty, Dolores Hart, Joseph Calleia, James Flavin. Screenplay: Arnold Schulman (based on the novel Furia by Vittorio Nino Novarese).

Twitter Capsule: Magnani and Quinn: two Big actors forced into a story that often feels smallish. Franciosa maybe comes off best.

VOR: ②  Three actors at exciting career moment, none an obvious fit for Cukor: recipe for more curiosity than success. Like a very rough draft for The Misfits.
