Una sera come le altre...

Yesterday was the 119th anniversary of Vittorio de Sica's birth, and though I've painted his visage as an actor I never before used an image from one of his films. This is Silvana Mangano again, in a fantasy sequence from An evening like any other, the final section of the omnibus Mangano vehicle The Witches (1967). It's the film by him that I've seen most recently and the image strikes me as timely. It comes from a scene where she imagines shooting her husband, played by Clint Eastwood.
