...show was a vehicle for Jean Weston's Vittoria, and she rode it majestically. Her fury was never shouted, but came through instead as the disciplined, brittle, half-smiling anger of a real devil. Peter Haskell, though, prevented her from stealing the show. His unconventional Flamineo, more a pimp than a conspirator, lightened Webster's heavy psychologizing. As a commentator he clarified the story; as a murderer, he mad the killer's impulse seem explicable; and even when the action reached its bloodiest, he sustained its dramatic plausibility...
BRATTLE: Last day for Vittorio De Sica's excellent GENERAL BELLA ROVERE, a film based on Roberto Rossellini's story of the conversion of an Italian pimp to patriot.

In telling about it all. he establishes the hardly original thesis that being broke is very hard work and that panhandling-working as cut-rate gigolo, or becoming valet-pimp to a parsimonious Parsee-can involve more shame and chicanery than the whole career of a Babbitt or a Cash McCall...
