L'amore

Anna Magnani is the only performer in the opening scene, and will be throughout this first segment of the film, titled, "Una Voce Umana" or "The Human Voice," from writer, producer and director Roberto Rossellini's L'Amore, a.k.a. "Ways Of Love," 1948.

Director and producer Roberto Rossellini begins with unalloyed, presumably sincere praise for his star, Anna Magnani, a shepherd who meets Federico Fellini, the young screenwriter, in his only appearance as an actor, in "The Miracle," the second segment of Rossellini's L'Amore a.k.a. "Ways Of Love," 1948.
