If you loved Marriage Italian Style, try Miracle in Milan
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Vittorio De Sica, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Marriage Italian Style, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Miracle in Milan is
The camera watches as a cabbage delivers a baby like a suburban stork. A benevolent crone raises him then dies, leaving Totò to trade orphanage grit for Milan’s mean streets. When developers come knocking on his ramshackle kingdom, he pulls a magic turnip out of the plot and everyone believes the miracle.
