Rossana Rory
Rossana Rory (born 7 September 1927) is an Italian retired actress best known for her performance as Norma in Mario Monicelli's caper film ''Big Deal on Madonna Street'' (1958). Career Rory began working as a model at the age of seventeen, posing mainly for the stylist Vincenzo Ferdinandi and in fotoromanzi in the weekly magazines ''Sogno'', ''Luna Park'', and ''Cine Illustrato''. In 1951, she made her film debut in Max Neufeld's '' Licenza premio''. Dissatisfied by a series of supporting roles, Rory went to London to attend acting courses at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, with hopes of a career in Hollywood. Her lack of luck in American films convinced her to return to Italy, where she appeared in Guido Malatesta's ''El Alamein'' (1957) and Mario Monicelli's ''Big Deal on Madonna Street'' (1958). The last film she made before her retirement from cinema was Michelangelo Antonioni's ''L'eclisse'' (1962). Partial filmography * ''The Ungrateful Heart'' (1951) * '' It Takes ...

Big Deal On Madonna Street
''Big Deal on Madonna Street'' ( it, I soliti ignoti; released in the UK as ''Persons Unknown'') is a 1958 Italian comedy caper film directed by Mario Monicelli and considered to be among the masterpieces of Italian cinema. Its original Italian title literally translates as "the usual unknown ones", which is roughly equivalent to the English phrase "the usual suspects". The name of the Roman street in the English title is a slight mistranslation, as the Italian name of the fictional Roman street on which the midnight burglary in the film takes place is the ''Via delle Madonne'' (The Street of the Madonnas) rather than "Madonna Street". Compounding the confusion is the fact that the real Roman street on which the scene was filmed is the ''Via delle tre cannelle'' (The Street of the Three Spouts), rather than the ''Via delle tre Madonne'' (The Street of the Three Madonnas). The film is a comedy about a group of small-time thieves and ne'er-do-wells who bungle an attempt to burgle a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
