Musik: The Chordettes "Mr. Sandman"

* Mr. Sandman,

bring me a dream.

Make her complexion like peaches and cream.

Make her two lips like roses and clover.

Then tell me that my lonesome nights are over.

Sandman, I'm so alone.

Don't have nobody to call my own.

Please turn on your magic beam.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. *

music

A sip of wine?

No.

Thank you.

Stop saying "Thank you", I'm at home here.

Nonsense.

Yes, from Canorano.

Canorano be praised. - Come over here.

So then goodbye. - goodbye.

music

Engine stalls

Something is wrong somewhere.

Ringing bells

Look, it's already ten o'clock.

10 O `clock!

10 O `clock? Maria!

What do you want?

It's already 10 o'clock.

And Annarella telegraphed that she would be arriving at 9 a.m.

Maybe something happened to her.

An automobile is not a train. - That is it.

You read so much about clashes

of the dead and injured.

What am I to do?

Aunty, you always take the worst.

Why don't we ask the pastor?

music

Pasquale?

Yes? - Tear this off.

I'm sorry, Reverend.

But I'm not allowed to do that without an order from Ciccone .

Ciccone?

Ciccone.

Who is calling me

I. - Good afternoon, Don Luigino.

What can I do for you?

What's this?

Don't you like it? - This has to go.

But I rented the film in Annarella's honor.

The the.

Should i tear it off? - Wait.

I have an idea. We glue ...

... something about the neck, huh?

Deeper.

You know what deeper means with a pastor.

Is it so right?

Mhm.

You ruined me.

May the Lord enlighten you. - Day Don Luigi.

Oh, Don Luigi.

I finally find you.

You were looking for me, Aunt Camela?

Annarella isn't here yet.

Don't worry, she's American now.

Don't they break their necks just like us?

Run into your brother's forge

and tell my nephew to look out

whether he sees an American car.

Cicci. - Rosinella.

Where is my brother?

Raffaele puts a new lock on the doctor.

And mother? - Went to the mill.

Your uncle said. - The pastor? - Yes.

What does he want? - I'll tell you right away.

Come here.

Zittozi, do you want to do me a favor?

Run down to the intersection and see

if an American car comes up the street.

You know what one looks like.

Just like the cars in American films.

Bravo. So come on, hurry up.

Come on, Rosinella.

No, we could be seen.

Go back and pretend you're working.

I don't go along with this any longer.

Then talk to Don Luigino.

With him of all people.

Why don't you talk to Master Raffaele?

So that he can kill us both. - It can not go on like this.

I'm running out of patience. I emigrate.

Good afternoon Angelina. - Good day.

Cicci.

Please come to the garden tonight.

I have no business there. Leave me alone.

If Annarella goes to sleep I could see you.

You whistle and I'll come down.

Annarella was doing so well in America. Why didn't she stay there?

She comes! Annarella is coming!

What are you saying? With horns?

What kind of horns?

Oh.

Back everything back!

Please step back, step back.

Tag.

A lot of Carmela. - Annarella.

Come on, just a little more.

Anna. - A lot of Carmela.

And who are you? - This is Rosinella.

And Donna Camillina, the pharmacist.

Don Peppino, I think you 've grown fat.

Child, let me look at you.

I don't believe my eyes. She has become a lady.

Honor where honor is due. - Reverend.

You recognize me? - But Don Luigi.

I got a little older.

The cold grave opens at my feet.

You take everything too tragically.

He still takes on any young man.

Annarella, you're finally home again.

Cicco.

My little Cicco.

I am Ciccone now. - Then Ciccone.

I still like you.

Don Gerado, my old friend.

Don Peppone. - I am really happy.

Baron Trabassi.

Ah, you are the Baron who turned Rome upside down.

You are welcome, Mrs. Gallega. - I'm Annarella.

Everything is still as I left it.

Nothing has changed here in our town .

Thanks.

I thank you all.

I'm so happy.

You give us the real gift.

Glad you reminded me of it.

I brought something. - To me?

Yes. - My heartfelt thanks.

Bring this to the sacristy.

Wait. Is it fragile? - no

I have one more thing.

Is that for me too?

No, for the Holy Virgin. - Naturally.

The day my mother took me to the ship

she said: Don't forget Madonna.

Don't forget Madonna.

"Don't forget" means "don't forget".

Yes, yes, don't forget Madonna.

Thank you boy

Anna?

Oh, yes.

My mother took a vow when my father was sick.

But he's doing better.

Yes, but he's terribly homesick.

So are we all.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Don Luigi?

I hope you will forgive me

that I was just doing stupid things in Sunday school .

Yeah, you were a little devil.

But with God's help you became a good woman.

I know everything about you.

Are you clairvoyant?

Aunt Carmela always came to me with your letters.

That's how I found out that you had become a widow.

So life is. - Yes / Yes.

You must have been through a lot.

Yes, I was very fond of him.

He always said: I'll leave all of my fortune to you,

'Cause I want you to stay a lady

(say prayer)

Amen.

How do you feel at home?

Before I came here, I was in Rome for a week.

It was nice, but the air here, the sun.

I am all intoxicated.

It was different in New York. I was above everything.

Here I feel like I have been transformed.

I feel like I have a fever.

Fever? Did you measure?

No, it's a strange fever.

I understand.

I can't sleep at night.

I suddenly get cold, then my face burns.

You cannot imagine it.

I think I understand. That is loneliness.

Yes, the loneliness. And the nerves.

I should have stayed in America.

I heard it was a wonderful country.

Yeah, but still I don't love it.

Are you serious.

I don't love it because it's a country

where the women wear their pants.

But you are a woman.

Yes i am a real woman.

That's why I want a real man.

Is this forbidden?

Not if it's your own husband.

Don't worry about me.

For me there is only one love that is blessed by God.

Bravo.

So, you have marriage plans.

I think it will be difficult. - How so?

It is not easy to find a man like I want him to be.

Hard working, honest.

But you found your 1st husband , why shouldn't you ...

Another one? Thanks.

I said he was a gentleman

but he always only thought of business.

Anna, we are in church.

Don Luigi, what did you understand?

"Business" is the name of his work, his bank.

Oh, please excuse me.

All American men think too much about business.

Tagein, tagaus.

And suddenly they 're lying on their noses and dead.

May God protect us from this.

That's what happened to me with the Gallega .

Always with his business.

In the evening he came home dead tired, ate quickly and fell asleep.

This is America.

So, you've made up your mind to stay here.

It depends.

Ah I understand.

Wait, look at the present. I will explain it to you.

You have to explain it to me - A little bit.

I'm a little mechanic.

No, this is an American game. For the guys in the community.

I brought it because I know

that you are interested in sports.

Yes, I am very interested in that.

How nice a baseball kit.

This is a surprise, the boys will be happy.

How did you get on such an extraordinary

and you got an interesting gift?

That's an excellent idea.

Thank you, my little one.

No.

Not so.

I'll show you.

Crash

Sorry.

It doesn't matter.

You couldn't have given me a nicer gift.

Maybe a little very American.

Thanks again.

Thank you very much.

When I was little I used to come here

to pray to Saint George, my favorite saint .

All saints are the same to me. I love him the most.

Saint Anthony.

But for me there is only Saint George.

Pray for me to the Virgin Mary.

It is my duty and a pleasure.

And when you have the fever again, pray.

Did you go to confession? - You can call it that.

And my sleigh? My automobile?

I had the car brought to my brother.

Come on, we'll get your suitcases.

Annarella. - Ciccone, like.

What do you think of this reception?

The whole town has come together.

Tag.

Nobody is missing.

music

Welcome.

I am Concetta, the mother of Raffaele and Rosinella.

Come in.

Raffaele, this is Annarella from Brooklyn.

The most beautiful rose in our garden.

I am pleased.

I'm happy, I'm happy.

You should say:

I am overjoyed to make your acquaintance.

Would you take a look at my car?

Gladly, later.

Do you know about American cars?

Raffaele is a master.

I rely on you. I'll pay for the repair in dollars.

Why? Do you think I work better for dollars?

I'll make sure you're satisfied.

Goodbye.

Master Raffaele is not very talkative.

He's weird, but he's very skilled.

Especially when it comes to the ladies. - He's good at everything.

He is a farrier, electrician, mechanic.

But watch out, because he has a bad reputation.

Do you know what his nickname is?

The comforter of the heart. - Why?

Because he comforts all women.

But that's not how he looks.

That's how he gets it.

You, Ciccone, are just as serious a painter.

Cicco, is that true?

Do not hear what she is saying.

But you're not married yet. What are you waiting for?

I waited for you.

Old love doesn't rust, does it?

Anna, this is your home and I hope you are happy.

God bless you.

Come into the house, we'll have coffee.

Thank you very much, not me. - Come on, don't be shy.

Look at the iron.

The horse limps.

Home at last.

How many times have I longed for it.

And my garden.

How many stupid pranks have I done here?

How many times have I climbed the trees?

The incense from the church wafts across.

I breathe home again.

How good is that.

Zitto-Zitto, carry the suitcases to Anna's room.

Rosina, come with me.

Wait, please leave it here.

Come on - me?

I brought you a little present.

Me? - Mmm. Real Havana cigars.

Thank you.

You have not forgotten me.

You never forget your first love.

Why are you laughing? - How should I say it?

It didn't sound very honest.

Cicco, you ask too much.

Don't forget, our 1st love was just a flirt.

A little.

Flirt? Is that american?

Uh ... flirt. How am I supposed to explain this to you?

It's a kind of love where the heart doesn't play along.

And what is involved?

An affection and the pleasure

turning a fellow 's head.

You learned beautiful things in America.

The two open their mouths and ears.

Zitto-Zitto, you can go.

Wait, buy some cigarettes.

Come on.

Well, take it.

How much did you give him - $ 5.

Do you know how much lira that is?

But aunt, a poor deaf-mute. - He understands every word.

A bomb exploded near him.

Since then he has lost the language.

Are you his sister? - no

She is the sister of Master Raffaele.

I took her because I was alone.

I educate them in the spirit of God.

How old are you? - 16.

And how old is your brother - Raffaele is 32.

Married? - no

Is he widowed like me?

No, he's an old bachelor. Like me.

Annarella, I'm jealous. Beware.

You do not have to be scared.

What's this?

No, keep it, I don't want it.

Tell me what you want.

Come on don't hide

Now try to say: Mariuccia.

Try it.

Try again.

Ma ...

Do not Cry.

Look what I brought you.

Come in front of the mirror.

Last French fashion.

You look like a real lady.

No what do you wanna do with me

Please, Annarella, that doesn't suit me.

I was born a farmer.

And what do you want with this children's dress?

This is a nightgown, all the rage.

That's transparent.

Do you like that better?

Can't the Americans do a whole shirt?

Either cut them off at the top or at the bottom.

What a heat!

Why are you screaming like that?

Come here.

I have to take a shower right now.

Right away? - Yes, get your brother.

I'll be right back.

* Mr. Sandman, Mr. Who.

Mr. Sandman, I love you. *

Annarella. Tell me what that is

These are canned macaroni with sauce and cheese.

You warm them up, put them on your plate and eat them.

Is that what you fed your husband with?

That is why the poor man died so early.

What nonsense are you talking about.

You will make the macaroni yourself again.

Otherwise you will find it difficult to find a new man.

I do not search a man.

She said it depends.

I'll tell you what that depends.

Clarissa, Maria, Antonella.

Come here.

I have big news.

Imagine that Annarella wants to find a husband here.

Children, do you already know the latest?

Anna wants to get a man here .

Day Donna Carmelina. Big news.

Do you already speak.

(whispers) Anna is looking for a man.

That's why she has a bathroom set up.

500 Lira.

Put a drop in each eye every evening .

Is that supposed to go away my stomach pain?

The doctor has prescribed this for you.

You always have to call me when I have a good card.

Do you know the latest? Anna wants to get married again.

That's why she has a bathroom set up.

If she has a bathroom set up,

then she wants to stay here.

Because she wants to find a man . Here with us.

So what?

Your cards drive you crazy.

Do you want to give it to me

Peppi, I've had enough of it. Take a look in the mirror.

A handsome man like you. You're still young.

And how do you look

With a beard and spots on the suit and no tie

you have to be ashamed of yourself.

Are you crazy?

What do you have in mind

Think about it, a pretty young woman is coming to our village

and wants to get a man.

And it doesn't make sense to you that you are the right match.

And this pastor, who said nothing to us , I'll tell him something.

You studied, you are mayor, rich.

You have a sister who is not married

and everything will be left to you

Go to your room and wash, wash, wash.

Wash yourself, wash yourself - Wash yourself.

Wash yourself from head to toe.

Head to toe? - Yes sir.

And what if she still doesn't like me ?

I feel like a newborn.

Do you think you are a fish

Rosinella, go into the garden and water the salad.

Well, go on.

That feels good.

Annarella, do you have to make the first day impossible?

You know I love you like a mother

Why did you hide from me

that you want to look for a man here ?

Who tied this bear up for you?

You told Luigi. - Why not?

A young widow, beautiful and healthy, needs a husband.

I am very happy alone. - You will not believe this.

I am free and can decide for myself.

Maybe I'll find one.

Take one of our young people.

You know who his father was.

I know who your heart beats for

Tell me the truth. - Is it Cicco?

You never forget your first love.

He never forgot you either.

When he found out your husband died

he sent me goat cheese straight away.

Aunt Carmela, I want to tell you the truth.

Do you know who i like

The black sheep.

You have to know what you are doing yourself.

I know that too. - Get dressed.

Lorenzo brought the corn. Should i weigh him? - no

You set her up last time.

I congratulate aunt Carmela,

your niece has become a pretty woman.

Think of your heart

When I see Anna I feel like 20.

Knock where are you?

Why does nobody open?

Ey.

(sighs)

Well finally.

It has taken a long time.

Where do you want the bathroom?

We don't have a large selection. Follow me.

I have a small chamber in front of my bedroom.

Here.

Of course it disappears in the basement.

I would have to tear everything down. - I know that.

A full bathroom. - Of course.

That is 1.50 m.

Forgiveness.

With a curtain?

With a curtain, like in America, and everything is tiled.

But there are only women in the house.

Maybe we have guests one day.

And with a hand shower with a long hose.

Do you understand what i mean?

I can also put in a gramophone for you .

That would be wonderful. I love music.

I Agree. Hand shower with hose.

What color?

I am always for opposites.

The floor black and yellow tiles.

Yellow and black? These are mourning colors.

You have no taste.

Yellow and black, that's fashion now.

Make it pink if you like.

Oh, now I tore your shirt.

We'll have the damage in a moment.

This will be the 1st bathroom in all of Canorano.

Then we have a festival for its inauguration.

Why don't you have a bath?

I bathe by the river.

Also in the winter? - Why not?

I work in the forge all day .

When I go swimming , the water gets hot.

They are a real steam heater.

Wait, it might be better that way.

Oh my goodness

I just sewed his shirt for him.

Come on hurry up. - I'm already done.

Don't worry, I won't eat your not.

You have to be on your guard against you.

And neither do you. - I'm not a young girl either.

Let's not talk about it anymore. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Do you know he shaves every night?

He just keeps on himself.

But do you know why he shaves in the evening?

Because he goes to comfort in the evening. - Ah.

Your brother is so pretty to fall in love with.

Does he not go to comfort?

He only goes to comfort because he is inconsolable himself.

And all because of a woman, she was from Rome, crazy.

For two months she could not live without him.

She was an engineer's sister.

He was in the mountains building a dam

she came down to us.

She was a painter. - I wanted to paint in New York too.

Poor Galliger, once I painted him with a head like that.

Why did Raffaele pack it like that?

Raffaele just lost her mind.

She was very rich. For them it was just a gimmick.

In the beginning Raffaele avoided her because she was so rich.

Why didn't he take it lightly?

He loved her.

But one day she left for Rome.

She gave him a farewell present , a radio for 100,000 lire.

My mother was happy, but Raffaele was heartbroken.

Now he's over it a bit.

There does not seem to be a lack of variety here .

What a lovely evening. The air is so pure.

I want to go for a walk. Rosinella, are you coming?

2 young girls alone in the evening?

I'll go with you. - You're right, I'm dead tired.

Good night.

Good night.

music

Hurry up, Aunt Carmela.

(whistles)

Cicci. - Rosinella.

Annarella. - Right now, of all times.

Good evening. - Signora.

Not so formal. Good evening baron.

Oh.

I beg you, come.

Come on, Aunt Carmela.

Please enter.

Camillina, come here. - What an honour.

What an honour. - What an honour.

Don Peppino, have you been to a wedding or a funeral?

They are cut and ironed like this.

Are these fine gentlemen finer than me?

Donna Camillina, did you happen to have Sedo ...

...pan?

Pan? (Donna Camillina) What is it?

Sedopan is an American sleep aid.

Of course I have Sedopan.

We have everything. Like in a big pharmacy.

It's all thanks to him.

If you knew how he works to keep you updated.

Peppino, do you work at night? During the day I see you play cards.

Peppi, we are waiting for you. - Yes, yes, the cards.

What am i guilty of? - Nothing at all.

Take it as an attention.

You can have everything.

You don't need that.

But, Aunt Carmela, that's a nice way to say thank you.

(Man) Peppi, are you finally coming?

Don't let anything bother you.

Go to work.

Sorry.

Good night. - Good night.

It was a great honor for us.

Too much honor for a bit of Sedopan.

There it is, our information office.

Your Reverend said that Annarella would like to find a husband.

I? Who?

When and where?

Who? Please, Anna, believe me.

Yes, yes, I believe you.

(Ciccone) I really like you . - I like you too.

Should we go for a walk? - Yes. You allowed?

Still I want to know

who started these rumors .

Maybe fate willed it that way.

Now fate is to blame.

I believe Annarella has to get married . - I told her the same thing.

You were just pretending to know nothing.

If I do something ... I told her privately.

You see that it is Providence.

My niece has to get married.

And you have to help me with it. - Help you?

I am not a matchmaker.

If we're already flirting, put more heart into it.

Let my heart out of the game.

I give you all my heart

and then there are my herd of mutton and my cinema.

Ah, bring it with you as a dowry.

If you hadn't emigrated to America

we would have been husband and wife for a long time.

That sounds like 1,001 nights.

Yes that would be a fairy tale

when the princess falls in love with the farm boy.

You've probably turned the head of many a woman.

I defend myself.

Annarella, let's go to the fountain

where did we kiss the first time?

I'm a little tired. I think I have a fever.

It comes from the exertion of the journey. - For sure.

I feel like I'm from another planet.

Do not be angry with me. - I beg you.

Many Carmela.

music

Engine noise

music

* Hänschen klein went out into the big wide world alone .

Stick and hat look good on him, he is good-natured. *

(Child) One more thing. - If you enjoy it.

* Hop, hop rider, when he falls he screams.

If he falls into the ditch, the ravens will eat him.

If he falls into the swamp, the rider plopps.

Again, Uncle Raffaele.

* If he falls into the swamp, the rider thumps. *

Again.

No, that's enough now.

Good morning Annarella.

Good Morning.

Anna, did you sleep well? - Wonderful.

I even dreamed. - I don't want to hear that.

But it was a nice dream.

The baron sent them to you.

Red roses, ardent passion.

And secret wishes.

The baron owes more than hair on his head.

And that's from Ciccone.

My favorite cheese.

Ciccone is a good boy. Our cinema belongs to him.

And he has over 1,000 mutton in the mountains.

When the weather is bad , the sheep suffer

but for that the cinema is going well.

When the sun is shining, it's the other way around.

In the sun the mutton, in the rain the cinema.

Ciccone knows how to make money.

I'm not interested in his sheep or his cinema.

Don Luigino, are you satisfied? - Yes, very nice.

But your next program already scares me.

After the film, I'll play the saint of Fatima.

Anything you want. - I like that.

But I do n't like some other things for that.

Same old song ...

A moment.

What old song

Certain love stories that aren't quite ...

I'm talking about your love affair in Pescara.

She is not married. It's just an adventure.

The first time it was an adventure in Pratola,

then a 2nd in Popoli and now a 3rd in Sulmona.

I just love the variety.

Listen, change your life.

I speak to you as a pastor and brother,

'Cause you're really like a brother to me

You too are like a brother to me.

My dear brother.

So better yourself

Take a good wife and marry her.

I summon you.

That is the purest telegraphy. - telepathy.

I was just about to talk to you guys about that.

Don Luigi, I want to get married.

Then we want the squad right away ...

No, it's not the last lady.

Do you have a 4th mistress?

No, my 1. My real love.

Annarella? - Ja.

Do you mind?

Is that true? What does Anna say about it?

Why else is she coming to Canorano?

Then I congratulate you and give you my blessing.

But you have to do me a favor. - That would?

Annarella has only recently been a widow.

Maybe it's too early for her to think about getting married again.

Could you feel the terrain a bit?

I don't feel anything.

Raffaele.

Good day.

My brother the mayor

would like to install a new bathroom.

Suddenly everyone wants to bathe. - What does that mean?

This is my 3rd order since yesterday.

First our American, then the baron, and now your brother.

(Ciccone) Raffaele.

Come over here. I want you to install a bathroom for me.

That makes 4. - 4 what?

Please, Herr Baron, please.

Don Luigi.

I have been feeling lonely for a long time.

I wake up in the middle of the night

and walk like a phantom through the halls of my castle.

I ask myself: what's wrong with me?

I dare not lift my eyes to the portraits of my ancestors.

Have you sinned?

I will speak to you in full frankness.

I want to get married. - They also?

And with whom?

I want to renew the blood of our old generation.

Anna. - What Anna?

Anna of Brooklyn.

Why? Are you against it? - Not at all.

But if you want to hear my opinion

Anna is a very extraordinary woman.

I believe your endeavor will be difficult to achieve.

That is why I came to you.

(Ciccillo) We are ready, the team is waiting. - I'm coming.

I wish you good luck. - I thank you.

But if you want to give me another minute.

In order to avoid Anna giving me and my family a basket,

if you could not scan the terrain for me.

Excuse me, Baron. Here I am, boys.

Good day. - Good afternoon, pastor.

He is there. - Welcome.

Mr. Club President.

Children, children.

I have a private matter to discuss with you.

Do you want to make your will?

That could suit you.

Corner.

Corner!

The thing is more important than your football.

If I am properly instructed

have you had a visit from the Baron and Ciccone.

Do I have no right to do so?

Of course.

But I would like to point out that your no decision

without discussing it with me beforehand.

A decision, a decision? What are you talking about?

Don't act so innocent.

I know exactly what the Baron and Ciccone wanted from you.

Ah I understand.

You also have the intention.

Why not? Because i'm older?

Do I have no right to do so?

Do I have the right or am I not?

I will give it to you.

I agree with you all.

But do not forget that Anna is a special woman.

Special or not, you have to give me your support.

I don't support anyone, understand?

I understand, Ciccone is your husband.

Be careful what you say. I won't let anyone buy me.

I didn't mean to offend you.

They didn't know anything about my intentions.

I know her now and I wish you the best of luck.

You haven't made up your mind yet?

Talk to her and when she catches fire

then I propose to her. - Who do you think I am?

Isn't it your job to bring 2 people together?

Because I'm a beekeeper?

A pastor is a pastor.

And nothing more.

Guys!

If you would give me the honor of being the 16th Baroness Trevassi.

Baroness, me?

Honk

Well finally!

Get out, I'll drive. - No, I'm driving.

I have to take a test drive.

Excuse me, morality is not the order of the day here.

Even the Maid of Orleans could not resist him.

Where is he going with her? - In the woods, of course.

And you, you suffer.

Have you gone mad?

Forward, forward.

Give the ball away.

Over to the right, over to the right.

Good day!

Do you want to smoke?

Yes please.

May I ask you something? - Mmm.

Did I hurt you

Did I offend you?

Why are you asking me that?

Because you look like a cat.

A cat that stands on end.

(hisses)

It is not your fault.

I just have a bad character.

Do you know that exactly? Still, you just laughed.

Then you look completely different.

I am always the same.

I watched you this morning when you played with the girl.

What does that have to do with it? - You were so nice.

When someone is so nice to children, they have a lot of heart.

Let's not speak of the heart. You're welcome.

Why? Are you afraid? - I just don't believe it.

The heart, the love, the loyalty do not exist.

So for you, all women are the same.

Yes, that's why I'm just having fun. That is enough.

Ah, you're just enjoying yourself. Stop.

Would you like to stop, please?

Get off immediately! I do not need you anymore.

Send me your liquidation. - My what? - Your bill. Idiot!

Saint George, hear me.

I'm in love with the guy.

I'm really in love with this stupid, stubborn guy.

I don't know why myself.

Saint George, I beg you ...

... one of two things.

Either you help me forget about him.

Or you can help me marry him.

Good day.

Hello, would you like some coffee?

Thanks, I've already had one.

Ah, my little brother.

Sugar?

You give me too much egg stuff, think about my liver.

You have to gather strength for your wedding.

Guten Tag Don Luigi. Donna Camillina?

I know something.

What?

Anna is not bored.

Anna from Brooklyn isn't bored?

She has a lover.

A lover? - Yes, a lover.

What kind of nonsense are you telling?

I saw it with my own eyes.

What kind of conspiracy are you forging here?

Tonight when I was walking down Via Veneto with Zitto-Zitto

we saw a shadow that disappeared in Aunt Carmela's garden.

From a man.

Who was it? - I couldn't see him.

Maybe it was just a burglar.

If it had broken in, we would have heard the screaming.

You don't know who was?

Do you think it was our comforter? - Naturally.

She could have wrapped me around her finger.

We don't know anything for the time being.

Apart from us, nobody is allowed to find out about it.

I will do my own research.

We know that Smeraldo does not see well in the evening.

But Zitto-Zitto saw him too. - He's dumb.

In Aunt Carmela's garden?

A man?

Who was that?

I? And Annarella?

How can anyone be so stupid?

Maybe it was Ciccone.

So it was me.

Get out of here.

Good afternoon Zitto-Zitto.

Good afternoon, Aunt Carmela. - Day.

Always at work, huh?

When I'm not working, I'm sick.

Come come. - Thanks.

Can I serve you a glass of wine and bread?

Thank you, not this time.

You don't want to ruin your appetite before eating.

My meal. A couple of spoons of soup is enough for me.

May I? - But please.

Where is our Anna?

She'd have better stayed in America.

You don't get the air.

She cannot sleep at night.

What is she doing? - You fantasized.

That's all? - That doesn't seem enough to you? A young lady.

You have to talk to her. - Let's wait.

But maybe ... - No, no.

You have to be careful with Anna.

How about this?

You invite me to dinner - With pleasure.

And then in conversation ...

What would you like to eat?

Don't worry. In the evening I just eat a little something.

A leg of a chicken.

I slaughtered 2 chickens today.

Boiled or Fried? - You'll make it.

Then there is very fresh goat cheese.

Your kitchen is famous all over the city.

My ravioli are available as a starter. - Have mercy.

Don't you want to try my salami?

Thanks, but that's too much. - You don't mean to offend me.

So fine.

I give up.

(Anna sings)

music

music

(Peppino) Softly, softly.

(whispers) Be careful.

Do you think this will last? - Have no fear.

This works out.

For God's sake what is that?

(Smeraldo) An owl.

An owl in a church tower. What am I doing here?

Go on.

Hurry up.

music

Here you go.

Don Luigi, do you drink it without or with?

With. Is better for digestion. - Good night.

Good night. That's a good kid.

God-fearing and unspoiled. Different from her brother.

Yes, unfortunately.

You say unfortunately Why? What do you have?

I should have warned you. It was my fault.

Protect me? I am indifferent to him.

Anna, you are no longer a child, you were married.

There are temptations ..

You don't want me to die.

Try to understand me.

Then express yourself more clearly.

Anna, you are like a ripe fruit.

And some foxes are just waiting to pounce on you.

You are right there.

Do you want to know who makes me look beautiful?

Don Peppino.

There is still the baron.

A gentleman.

He sends flowers and kisses my hand.

And Ciccone?

This is a daredevil, we even made love.

A childhood sweetheart, nothing more.

I wore short skirts and he carried my portfolio.

Then it's someone else. Who? - I want to know what you're looking for.

Anna, since you came back from America

have you not yet been to confession?

You are right. But now it's impossible.

Why? Are you scared?

You know confession is an inviolable secret.

And I am not allowed to reveal it, even if your life is threatened.

I'm not afraid.

But I am about to commit a sin.

You see, and you want to stick with it.

I don't wanna stick with it

but right now I can't go to confession.

Anna, think about it.

If I'm not feeling fine tonight

I'll have you called.

Many Carmela.

Don Luigino wants to go.

You want to go already? - It's late.

Good night. It was nice that you came to see us.

Good night.

Looks bad. - For God's sake.

We have to do this with great tact, wisdom and deliberation.

Don't let them out of your sight. (someone whistles)

Have you heard? - What?

Nothing. I believed ...

I do not want,

that you meet me on the street at such a late hour.

I go through the garden.

Thank you very much, it was excellent.

Good night. - Good night.

music

Rustling (chickens cackling)

music

(he whistles)

Uncle. - You!

You miserable fellow. - uncle. - Shut up. Be quiet.

We talk at home.

This is Anna's lover, Ciccillo, the pastor's nephew.

Holy Madonna, who would have thought?

Come on, let's go.

Who's there? - It's me. - Come in.

What is wrong with you?

Anna, I am lost.

I was by my mother.

And she told me that Raffaele tonight

Don Luigi and Ciccillo saw coming from the garden.

Where was that? - Hidden in the garden.

Don Luigi surprised him.

Understand. He was waiting for you there.

But we just looked at each other.

You just looked at each other?

Tell me the truth.

You did stupid things. - No, I swear to you.

We just kissed.

Why are you crying? Ciccillo won't betray you.

He'd rather let himself be torn to pieces.

I congratulate you, that's a hero.

But it's worse.

Raffaele told mother that Ciccillo is your friend.

What are you saying

That Ciccillo is your friend.

My friend? - Yes.

And he made a very terrible face.

Maybe he did it for you?

He doesn't make a face because of me. - What did your mother say?

She defended you. Mummy likes you.

She told me if you marry Raffaele

she donates a candle for Saint Rita.

And he? - Don't speak a word.

And make the bad face?

If he's upset, I'm happy.

Come here.

I take care of you and Ciccillo.

Ringing bells

music

This story has to stop. I am making a fool of myself.

Why are you laughing?

If he hadn't gotten this shock in the war

could he give you the correct answer.

Angelina.

Is that your daughter? What a beautiful child.

Look what I'm giving you.

I got that for my communion.

I am giving this to you as a token that we are friends.

* Hoppe Hoppe Reiter. When he falls, he screams.

If he falls into the ditch, the ravens will eat him. *

Annarella, you will never be happy without children.

Angelina is right.

What beautiful children would you bring into the world.

Hurry up, the right moment is quickly missed.

A woman like her gets involved with a guy like that.

What is she? A farmer's wife.

People of the same kind stick together.

She was my 1st love. - She forgot you.

If she hadn't gone to America ...

Now it's Columbus's fault.

I would still not have married her.

Did you try? - Good afternoon Raffaele.

I thought about the bathroom thing.

All right.

Hier, Raffaele.

No, not American. - Ordinary.

Gentlemen.

Prosit.

Very good.

Gentlemen, you look so ... - ... extraordinary.

Wie Annarella.

What does Anna have to do with it?

You said yourself that she was an extraordinary woman.

Yes. And further?

You knew why you said that.

You've come up with a plan. - A family plan.

What kind of plan?

I expect an explanation.

We expect that from you.

It seems to me that this is a challenge.

I don't like to argue out here.

Please after you.

These gentlemen owe me an explanation.

And I want to benefit from it ...

But please, you have had practice in it.

They also? That's a ... - Conspiracy?

We are decent people and a friend is a friend.

I feel free from any guilt.

He feels free.

You just said that I benefit ...

Extraordinary benefit.

Herr Baron! Cicco.

Please explain to me ...

You should know better than we do.

What? Do you want me to take off my cassock?

Yesterday you got on the high horse,

because we dared say something against Anna.

And you ordered us to be silent, even though you knew

that the nightly guest was Ciccillo.

It's up to you

to arrange a nice party for your nephew.

But you have to say it.

He's right. We have poured out our hearts to you.

You didn't need us to make fools of ourselves.

Why don't you say anything?

If your hide-and-seek is playing with us, we must assume

that everything is not going well.

Are you ready? - Isn't it enough for you yet?

One moment and you will be satisfied.

Ciccillo, Ciccillo come here right now.

Now you should know the truth.

And that should be a lesson to all of you,

Throwing dirt on someone who only wants the best.

These are just excuses.

Here I am, Uncle Luigi.

Come closer.

Ciccillo, I am under terrible suspicions.

Only you can save me

What do you want to know?

Tell the gentlemen what happened the night I caught you

has occurred.

Nothing.

I swear I was like a father to you, tell the truth.

I dont know anything.

Say the truth,

we saw you come out of the garden with your uncle.

What have you done there? Tell them

And.

You surprised me,

when I tried to steal apples from Aunt Carmela.

You liar.

Always with Tranquillity. - This dress...

And the night before and the other nights, what were you doing there?

Apples are my passion. - get out of here!

You are a family eyesore.

Oh my God.

I have fed an adder on my bosom.

What an actor.

But if he doesn't want to get out with the truth, you can speak.

He gave me ...

Gentlemen.

I endure this disgrace, which is slight

compared to the sufferings of our Lord.

But God does not tolerate injustice.

And one day the truth will come out.

As pure and clear as the consecrated water.

You still get this far

I'm losing my control

Such accusations especially before lunch.

But the truth breaks out.

Listen, come here.

The population is hereby made aware,

that there will be a championship game this afternoon

between the teams of San Germano and Civitella.

Our Lord Mayor and the Pastor ask all fellow citizens

including their wives,

to keep calm and decency during the game.

Come on guys, get it all down.

Carefully.

So this time they don't get us.

Policeman, the referee has to put up with

that the players dictate to him?

You're right. - Naturally. How can you work there?

music

Links, 2, links, 2...

Music and cheers

Up, Annarella. - Day.

How about a glass - thank you.

On your well-being.

Very good.

Annarella gives the winners a kiss.

I thank you.

Thank you all.

It is wonderful to be surrounded by such youth.

Have you heard? The youth did it to her.

You're an exception. You are the only one she likes.

Annarella, you are the queen of Canorano.

We all love you.

I hope the performance is over soon.

Bravo, bravo.

Bravo.

whistle

Bravo, bravo.

Hold, hold, it was offside.

(all) shift!

That is not true!

That wasn't offside.

Shift!

I whistled offside. And that's that.

My decision is final.

(Peppino) I ask for your protection.

Children, not so stormy.

Respect the referee.

Quiet, gentlemen.

You are sports people, the referee is inviolable.

The arbitrator's verdict is final.

There is no contradiction.

Be sporty.

But that wasn't offside.

Be sporty, be sporty.

Ciccillo was right, Don Luigi defends him.

Do not put up with it.

Shut your mouth.

I would like to buy that one.

Raffaele, please come and help me.

Now I come, now let's see.

You guys are sports people.

Ciccillo is right, he wasn't aloof.

Now the women get involved.

Set a good example.

If you give the good example, Ciccillo was right.

The referee is right

Ciccillo shot after the final whistle.

If you weren't my master ...

You take advantage of it because you are bigger and stronger.

A decision is a decision.

Raffaele is right, the guy whistled beforehand.

You went over to the camp of traitors like him.

I? - That's you, a traitor.

Calm down, Anna.

Who are you already? - Someone who is not afraid of you.

Don't get physical.

Go back to America.

No, you will go away, you scoundrel.

Am i a scoundrel? - Yes sir.

Don Luigi, did you hear that?

Rascal. - Use your senses, Anna.

This is a folk festival.

Ciccone, help me. - I find it very cozy.

We're all brothers.

Brothers, you heard.

Ruhe, Ruhe.

Didn't you hear what Don Luigi said?

We are all brothers.

Brothers, brothers.

Slowly.

This is all your fault.

What is my fault

Stop it.

Beat a weak woman.

Raffaele. - Ja?

Your fault, yes.

Our anthem.

Melody: Italian national anthem

Good evening.

What are you doing on the street so late at night?

Angelina is sick.

She had a bile attack after playing soccer.

Wasn't Ciccillo with you to eat?

Yes, Annarella invited him

because he has so distinguished himself today.

She was delighted with him. - Ah, I'm in the picture.

Good evening, please give me my regards, Angelina.

Concetta?

Is your son at home

Yes, should I send him to you?

No, I just wanted to ask something.

Good night. - Good night.

music

Beat

music

Is it allowed? - Come in.

I hope I don't bother.

I wanted to thank you for supporting me so nicely today.

You don't need to say thank you for that.

I am for justice. - That pleases me.

You made yourself very nice.

It's a shame that Rosinella doesn't benefit from it too.

What do you mean by that? - Nothing at all.

It's just a shame.

I love Rosinella very much, that's why I took the liberty ...

Please speak.

There's something else behind it. - No, really nothing.

I thought that...

... Rosinella is in good hands with Aunt Carmela.

The Milanese have a great team, don't they?

Now Anna lives there too, a very good woman.

Maybe too Americanized.

I don't entirely agree with their newfangled ideas.

Tonight, for example, she invited Ciccillo to dinner.

What do I have to do with your nephew? This is your business.

You can believe what you want from me.

If I were you, I wouldn't let

that Rosinella is 1 min longer ...

... stays in this house.

music

Hu.

Just keep going, don't be bothered.

music

That's what I call good upbringing.

Is it your custom to attack other people?

Where's Rosinella? Call them.

I won't let you boss me around.

You should call her.

She doesn't stay here. - Why?

You can do what you want, but not my sister.

(laughs)

Rosinella.

Thief, you scoundrel!

Come here, I'll give you a lesson.

Rosinella.

Anna, he's going to kill me.

Are you satisfied now?

Bravo, my compliments.

You did that nicely.

Yes, and I'm not ashamed at all.

Ciccillo and Rosinella have started to tremble

just saying your name.

Does it make you proud to scare 2 young people like that?

What am I talking to you about feelings.

Do what you want, but leave Rosinella alone.

I represent her father's place. - What a good father.

She also needs a father, a father

who sets a good example.

In the evening he comforts the ladies. - I do what I like.

I am not accountable to you.

Of course, always the same story.

He does it with every rock, married or not.

But woe to anyone who gets too close to his Rosinella.

This is the man who is so for justice.

And he even gets angry.

Because he's so righteous.

He is above all things and knows everything.

He also commands everyone and above all comforts everyone.

What is that any of your business? Did I court you?

You're right.

You didn't run after me.

I was wrong because I was in love.

The way I saw you, everything was clear to me.

One morning I woke up with only one wish

to go back to my homeland.

Homesick, you will say.

No.

I felt that someone was waiting for me here.

I thought I was awake.

In reality I was dreaming.

That's why I fell in love with you.

So I couldn't think of anything else.

It's over now.

Go go go

Get out of my house, get out, get out!

(sobs)

I spoke to Don Luigi.

He gave me his consent.

Ciccillo and Rosinella are allowed to marry.

They want to marry?

And who will feed them?

Don Luigi perhaps?

Anna gave me a check for $ 1,000.

She promised that she would put Ciccillo in America

if he can't find a job here.

You should apologize to Annarella.

You offended her badly.

She has packed her bags and is going back to America.

She is leaving today.

Forgive me, Aunt Carmela. - Of course I forgive you.

But I don't understand anything at all.

Come to America with me. - I'm too old.

I have no strength for it.

Zitto-Zitto, what do you want?

I've had enough of the theater, carry the suitcases down.

Unfortunately it seems to be true, she continues today.

Right now? - Yes.

Without saying goodbye to us? - She's waiting for you.

Us?

After everything you've done to her.

We? - Yes.

You are to blame for everything.

Yes, you, yours. - me?

Yes, and you have Raffaele on your conscience too.

When something goes wrong, I'm always the one to blame.

(all) Yes.

Anna, is it true that you are going back to America?

Yes that's true.

(all) a shame.

When you see the president, tell him to visit us.

We make him baked macaroni and serenade him.

Anna, we have so many handsome guys here.

You'll find your husband there if you want.

It's a shame that I'm too old. - Do not listen to him.

Annarella, write to us.

Stay here. - Stay here, Annarella.

Dont forget us.

Let it be well with you.

music

Cicco.

Anna.

Goodbye, my great love.

I sell everything, the cinema, my herd of mutton

and i'm coming to america.

Good luck Anna.

A little ray of sunshine and night falls.

You're lucky you don't have to stay

You are the most beautiful memory of my whole life.

If you go away, it's not our fault.

Unfortunately, the jug has already broken.

Anna, I meant well.

As Dante said:

You sow the good and you reap the bad.

Why complicate everything.

Say you're sorry she's leaving.

Anna, I am very sad. - Don Luigi.

Come quickly.

Please let me through.

That should bring you luck.

Goodbye

Anna...

Please be careful.

And, yes, Annarella ...

I thank you.

Goodbye and stay safe.

Take good care of yourself.

Zitto-Zitto, don't you say anything?

Annarella, stay here.

He has spoken.

He has spoken.

I can talk.

A miracle has happened. - He has spoken.

I can talk.

I can talk. - Yes.

I can talk.

I can talk.

I can talk.

I can talk.

I can talk.

I can talk.

I can talk!

Annarella continues, don't you understand?

Hush-Hush ...

Mariuccia.

Mariuccia.

Annarella, hug my son. - I'm not a saint.

You gave him back the language.

Hug our mayor too, maybe he'll get better then.

We love you all, have a good trip.

(Man in the background) Quiet.

What is he doing there?

He broke the car.

Back.

Back.

Let's go to church, the three of us have something to discuss.

(laughs)

Annarella. - Mein Schuh.

Hip, hip, hurray.

Thanks.

The Lord be with you.

We pray.
