A new starlet emerges

Posted by Daniel Metz



What do you get when you mix Brigitte Bardot and Ingrid Bergman?


Silvana Mangano, the breathtaking star of the film Bitter Rice.

In this brilliant Italian picture from 1949/1950, the young and devilish Mangano steals the film and every scene away from the director, all of the actors, the landscape; you name it, Mangano will shine it out.
