Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles.

The Countess (Bette Davis), a wealthy American with an addiction to card games and a large real estate portfolio, has become an expert on the card games of all the countries where she owns houses. The regional favorite in Rome is a card game called "scopone" and the Countess summons a married couple to be her adversaries. The couple—played by Alberto Sordi and Silvana Mangano—are the poorest of the poor, but the Countess supplies them with one million lire to play with, promising them that they can keep the money should they beat her.

5 of 5 Rare Bette Davis/Joseph Cotton September 8, 2017
Reviewer: James P from Rego Park, NY United States  
Next to Connected Rooms, this is probably Bette Davis's most elusive movie. Great print, and like a lot of Italian films that never got a domestic release, it's in its native language only (with English subtitles). In Italy, at least, it has a great reputation--named as one of "100 Films That Changed the Collective Memory of the Country Between 1942 and 1978." Interesting, too, is that it ranks higher than Fellini's Amarcord. Thanks MD for making this available!
