Perhaps inspired by Horace McCoy’s 1935 novel, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, Luigi Comencini co-wrote and directed La tratta delle bianche (US: Girls Marked Danger), a sleazy and sensationalist noir that revolves around a weeks-long dance contest involving the riffraff of a desperate postwar Italian landscape.
Director Luigi Comencini is most associated with commedia all’italiana, but this work is a crime story influenced by both American film-noir and Italian neorealist melodrama. It stars Vittorio Gassman and features a young Sophia Loren in a small role.
