attacked it for having the mother of the Story of Caterina segment re-enact the abandoning of her child. Initial export copies were missing Carlo Lizzani's segment on prostitution due to censorship issues. Zavattini noted in retrospect that the film lacked a central idea and common perspective on the theme, partially owed to the fact that the filmmakers had only sporadic contact during production. The result was a film partly made in a documentary style, partly as a replication of reality, and, in the case of Federico Fellini, staged with professional actors. Michelangelo Antonioni, director of the second episode, later stated that he only participated in the film as a favour to one of its makers, and commented negatively on what he saw as insincerity on the side of his interviewees. In 2014, Love in the City was released on Blu-ray by Raro Video.
