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

In Italian with English subtitles. The first of Rossellini's "Fascist Trilogy" films.

A Fascist pilot, Lt. Gino Rossati (Massimo Girotti), is flying a bombing run from Italy to Greece in the early spring of 1941. He is shot down by British aircraft and becomes a prisoner of war, first of the British and later the Greeks. In one of the prison camps, he falls in love with Anna (Michela Belmonte), the teenage daughter of an Italian doctor. During a bombardment by the Italians, he is able to escape by stealing a British plane. He returns home, although wounded, and lands in time to hear the reports of Greece's surrender. The film's supervisor and story author, "Tito Silvio Mursino," the screen pseudonym of Vittorio Mussolini, was the son of Italy's Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.

An interesting WWII film about an Italian pilot and other Italian military and civilian prisoners of war in Greece who are trying to escape from the British,who are herding them along trying to make it out of the country shortly before Greece's surrender.All in the midst of German bombing of Greece.
