Title: We the Living
Product review: The fact that this film was almost wiped out by the fascists makes it a must have for any film library and/or historian. The only problem with the film is that the quality is not what we expect. It was not digitally remastered. In some place the subtitles were hard to read against the background. However, the acting is outstanding. I read the book years ago and I can say that the casting was very well done and the book was followed well. The sets were well done and believable. The use of Russians immigrant to Italy as extra (who had actually lived under communism) gave the scenes authenticity. Adding the scenes that Rand cut out as an extra feature made the film a better experience. I didn't agree with Rand about changing the ending but I'm glad original film did not and showed it in the special features.
