Release Year:
1962

Starring: Enrico Maria Salerno
A strange, spellbinding, and singular cinematic experience. Vittorio, a conservative and bourgeois Italian attorney (Salerno), has a day to waste in Los Angeles while in transit to Mexico City. After making his first mistake—walking—Vittorio is absorbed into the orbit of a sexy and slightly sinister group of Italian ex-pats hustling to survive in modern America. Presaging later works such as Scorsese’s After Hours and Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, this is an astounding rediscovery, gorgeously restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive. – Film Noir Foundation
