La Terra Trema
Ntoni (Antonio Arcidiacono), a young Sicilian fisherman, gets sick of selling his family's catch to wholesalers who set the price themselves. He talks his relatives into mortgaging their house to buy a boat of their own. Luchino Visconti cast the villagers themselves rather than actors, and he adapted Giovanni Verga's 1881 novel I Malavoglia, shooting the whole film on location.
