INHALT

L'amore (Love) is a 1948 Italian drama anthology film directed by Roberto Rossellini, starring Anna Magnani and Federico Fellini. It consists of two parts, The Human Voice (Una voce umana), based on Jean Cocteau's 1929 play of the same title, and The Miracle (Il miracolo), based on Ramón del Valle-Inclán's 1904 novel Flor de santidad. The film had its world premiere in the International Competition of the 9th Venice International Film Festival, on 21 August 1948, and was released in Italian cinemas on 2 November 1948. The second part was initially banned in the United States until it was cleared in 1952 by the Supreme Court's decision upholding the right to freedom of speech.
