Under Director Vittorio De Sica (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow), the two stars pour themselves into their work and set charm flowing like strong red wine...
...significance of human life and the application of the Christian message to the existential circumstance." It will also be open to the insights of science and non-Christian faiths, even to the humanist values-a deep concern for other men's welfare, an intelligently empirical approach to moral issues-of contemporary unbelief...
