A pre-Fellini Marcello Mastroianni starred with Eleonora Rossi Drago (Radley Metzger's Camille 2000) in this 1952 potboiler about a femme fatale and two tempted brothers (Mastroianni along with Amadeo Nazzari from The Valachi Papers). Director Clemente Fracassi, who also co-wrote with Ennio DeConcini and Alberto Moravia, followed up with a filmed version of Verdi's Aida starring Sophia Loren.
