Doctor, Beware …and the Wild Women

A charming comedy from neorealist titan De Sica, Doctor, Beware stars the great director as a pediatrician fending off advances from a number of women, including the scene-stealing Magnani as a gold-digging showgirl. (92 mins., 35mm) The gripping prison drama …and the Wild Women stars Magnani as a hardened con opposite an innocent newbie (Giulietta Masina) who’s been wrongly imprisoned. The cast of inmates collectively provides a fascinating commentary on the role of class and poverty in the Italian legal system. (106 mins., 35mm)
