This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. Runtime is 75 minutes.

This fil is also known as Il Lupo della Sila and Wolf of the Sila. Returning home after a night of love spent in a woodman's hut with Orsola (Luisa Rossi), Pietro (Vittorio Gassman) is arrested by the police for a crime he did not committ. His mother (Olga Solbelli) and youngest sister, Rosari (Laura Cortese), go to Orsola begging her to provide Pietro with the alibi that will clear him. But Rocco (Amedeo), Orsola's brother, dreading a family scandal, constrains Orsola to silence. Condemned despite his innocence, Pietro escapes from prison, but the police track him down and kill him, and his mother, before the eyes of Rosaria. Years pass, and one day Rocco stumbles upon a half-frozen young woman (Silvana Mangano) lying in the snow. He takes her home and confides her to the care of Orsola...

Fantastic!

Also in the film is the rarely seen Lithuanian actor Jacques Sernas.
