Bread, Love and Dreams

“...the stuff great entertainment is made of!”

A veteran marshal is posted to a small town and finds himself drawn, almost at once, to two women he has no business pursuing. One is the midwife, Annarella (Marisa Merlini). The other is the girl the locals call La Bersagliera, Frisky (Gina Lollobrigida). Luigi Comencini lets Maresciallo Carotenuto (Vittorio De Sica) stand in the town square in his uniform, looking from one woman to the other.
