Wild is the Wind (1957) DVD-R
Starring Anna Magnani, Anthony Quinn, Anthony Franciosa, Joseph Calleia, Dolores Hart
Directed by George Cukor
Print: black/white
Runtime: 114 min.
Genre: drama
Wild Is the Wind represents a (perhaps deliberate) reversal of the situation in The Rose
Tattoo (1955). Whereas in Tattoo, Anna Magnani played a widow who could never find a man
to measure up to her late husband, in Wind her character, Giola, marries widowed rancher
Gino (Anthony Quinn), who is haunted by the memory of his first spouse. The situation is
dicier in Wind, since Italian immigrant Gino's deceased wife was Giola's sister. Eventually
tiring of her husband's mood swings, Giola turns to his son, Bene (Anthony Franciosa), for
emotional and sexual gratification. A Hollywood approximation of the Italian neorealist
school of filmmaking, Wild Is the Wind was based on Furia, a story by Vittorio Nino Novarese.
