December 3rd: "Light in the Piazza" starring Yvette Mimieux, Olivia de Havilland and George Hamilton. In English.
Light in the Piazza is a 1962 American romantic drama film directed by Guy Green and starring Olivia de Havilland, Rossano Brazzi, Yvette Mimieux, George Hamilton, and Barry Sullivan.
While taking a summer holiday in Florence with her mother Meg, 26-year-old Clara Johnson, an American who was kicked in the head by a pony during childhood and now mentally disabled, meets and falls in love with a young Italian named Fabrizio Naccarelli. Fabrizio is blinded by his love for Clara and believes her mental disability to be simple naivete. Meg tries to explain her daughter's condition to Fabrizio's father, but the opportunity never seems to be right. Fabrizio's family are taken with Clara and her simple remarks are taken as evidence of her innocence.
