THE DOLL THAT TOOK THE TOWN 1957 (ALPHA)

Not too bad of a film.

A young and beautiful, but struggling model named Liliana (Virna Lisi) makes up a story about being raped and beaten by three men in an abandoned house.

This puts her in the spotlight where she wants to be and suddenly her career grows and so does her personal fortune. The trouble starts when the police arrest three men in connection with the crime.

One of the men, Mario Grimaldi (Serge Reggiani) pleads with Liliana to recant her story and tell the truth, but she refuses as she now has the life she wants. Mario's wife Anna (Haya Haraeet) sets out to make Liliana's life miserable until she tells the truth.

This movie was a suprise to find. It's very rare in that it seems to have fallen in between the cracks of the movie world. This Italian production isn't talked about too much online, but it's a great drama.

I really recommend this. Lisi is gorgeous and the movie is well acted and very topical, even today. Check it out.
