It's a great film. I happened to ask a guy in a bar if he'd seen in and he HAD. But that was only to see if he knew who Anna Magnani was so I could recommend Mamma Roma to him. :plot:

Vote open city david!!! you won't free Polanski so this is the least you can do.

Great story about a jazz composer who is obsessed with The Spiral Staircase (teaches a whole semester course on it and using it for jazz improvisation :shock: Can I audit?)

Spiral Staircase :praise: :praise:

Need to see one or two for this year before I vote.
