...Tullio Levi-Civita, of the University of Rome, Rational Mechanics...
...rebellion to contend with. Nevertheless, though every Fascist officer says, "There are no strikes in Italy," Spivak dug out records of 153 illegal strikes under Fascism. The humblest Italian is paralyzed with fear by the secret police ("The Bats") headed by an imitation Mussolini. Another imitation Mussolini, handsome President Tullio Cianetti of the Confederation of Labor, conceded that "Fascism has not abolished the class struggle or class distinctions."

Fearing he loves her honestly, he sails away alone without telling her why. When he returns, the girl has agreed to marry his brother. Clearing the matter up takes much dialog and some music. Best shot: the final one, in which the heroine hears the theme song, "Love Passes By," played by a hurdy-gurdy, tooted on an automobile horn, sung by a beautician, a gardener and Carminati...
