	Amazon.com: Stromboli: DVD: Ingrid Bergman,Mario Vitale,Renzo Cesana,Mario Sponzo,Gaetano Famularo,Roberto Rossellini
		"Stromboli" was filmed on location (in ridiculously primitive surroundings), with most of the cast made up of local fishermen that Rossellini recruited for his movie.
		Anyhow, "Stromboli" ends up losing an additional star because of the Hollywood butcher job, but this was not a great film for its director in the first place.
		"Stromboli" was the first film Ingrid Bergman made with Roberto Rossellini during their scandalous relationship that made the actress persona non grata in Hollywood.

	Stromboli : Introduction Frommers.com
		The most distant island in the archipelago, Stromboli achieved notoriety and became a household word in the United States in 1950 with the release of the Roberto Rossellini cinema vérité film Stromboli, starring Ingrid Bergman.
		Stromboli, on the northeastern shore, is a conglomeration of the villages of Ficogrande, San Vincenzo, and Piscita, where the only in-town attraction is the black-sand beach.
		The entire surface of Stromboli is the cone of a sluggish but still-active volcano.

	Stromboli
		Stromboli 's lack of expressionism may help us to 'read' the film as an essay on the condition of Woman in patriarchal society at the close of World War Two.
		Rossellini directed Stromboli and other films of this period as though theatrical drama had never existed.
		If we have a similar response to Stromboli it will probably be because we are trying to assess it by the very conventions it seeks to depart from.

	Pinocchio (1940)
		Pinocchio looks marvelous for such an old film, but some roughness to the image keeps it from reaching the stellar levels of quality achieved by some of the other Disney offerings.
		The menace of Stromboli and he states Pinocchio's ultimate fate when he's worn out works well, but the scenes in which the boys are turned into donkeys are truly frightening.
		Few thought it would work - the film commonly was called "Walt's folly" - but, of course, Disney proved them wrong, as that movie went on to become a huge hit and silenced all nay-sayers.

	channel4.com/film - Pinocchio
		The characterizations are richly achieved, from Pinocchio and Jiminy to diabolical Stromboli and the wandering villains desperate to get their hands on the wooden boy.
		In simple technical terms Pinocchio, Disney's second feature-length cartoon, is a considerable improvement on the first, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with the use of a multiplane-camera, developed by animator Ub Iwerks, allowing complex camera effects and giving the images an illusion of depth.
		But the puppet, Pinocchio, has no conscience of his own and instead a passing cricket, Jiminy, is assigned the role.

	This week at the Seattle International Film Festival
		The film, which is deliberately reminiscent of Italian neo-realism of the '40s (particularly "Bitter Rice" and "Stromboli"), is about a fisherman's wife and mother of three whose rebellion against her boring, restrictive life on a sun-baked island off the coast of Italy is viewed by her husband and his busybody relatives as mental illness.
		For the first half of the film, as we see a world of shadowy figures and phantoms trapped in their denial of death, floating along like dying balloons and phasing out of reality like hallucinations, the mood and the spooky, unsettling imagery is pure Japanese ghost story.
		The film is a caravan of celebrity look-alikes, as The Turtles cross paths with The Beatles, Brian Jones, Graham Nash, Jim Morrison, Mama Cass, Donovan and Frank Zappa.

		As soon as Stromboli realizes Pinocchio's carnival potential -- a puppet who can sing and dance without strings -- he'll stop at nothing.
		Bill Tytla's forceful animation of Stromboli is widely regarded as one of the pinnacles of animation acting, although the famed comedian W.C. Fields was reported to have criticized Stromboli's performance, saying, "He moves too much."
		Walt Disney's Stromboli is a much more sinister Hollywood villain than the original character written by Italian author Carlo Collodi.

	obits.com, The Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Ingrid Bergman
		Married for 13 years to Dr. Lindstrom, US audiences and the film industry were outraged when it was announced that Ingrid Bergman was expecting the child of her "Stromboli" director, Roberto Rossellini, and had abandoned her husband and daughter to live with the director in Italy.
		Bergman was so closely associated with her heroic, saintly, and pure film persona, the events surrounding her film "Stromboli" (1950) during the pitch of the "Un-American Activities" Communist and moral witch hunts led to her abandonment by American audiences and the Hollywood film industry.
		Bergman's "comeback" film, "Anastasia" was released the year her "Casablanca" co-star Humphrey Bogart succumbed to cancer, and in the wake of his death, sentiment for their film carried over to Ms.

		This article proposes an analysis of two filmic scenes by two famous directors: a study from a setting about fishing job in Man of Aran by Robert Flaherty, and in Stromboli by Roberto Rossellini.
		El gusto de Flaherty por encontrar un sentido dramático a las acciones está evidentemente lejano de esta postura, y se acerca más a otra, la denominada observación participante, que propone la participación del cineasta en todas las fases de la construcción del filme: recogida de los datos, grabación o filmación, selección y montaje.
		The first one is defined as an ethnographic film and the other one as a fiction film, but with documentary nuances.

	filmjourney.org : The Best of Youth
		In many ways, The Best of Youth is vehicle for the beauty of the Italian landscape and culture as they reveal and comment upon the search for personal identity--making an overt reference to Roberto Rossellini's Stromboli in one scene entirely appropriate in more ways than one.
		The film carefully traces their lives as they travel through Italy (and abroad), building and moving beyond their assorted relationships as they process largely undefined emotional baggage inherited from their formative years.
		Generating rave reviews around the globe, the film laid around the vaults of Miramax for a couple of years until it finally received its US distribution this month, earlier at the Film Forum in New York City and this week at the Laemmle Royal in Los Angeles.

	obits.com, The Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Ingrid Bergman
		Bergman shortly before she gave birth to Rossellini's son, Roberto, and while she wed her director, the allegations of immorality and furor over Rossellini's political history led "Stromboli" to be banned and boycotted in America and conservative areas of Europe.
		Bergman's subsequent films with her husband received similar response, and by the middle 1950s, the Rossellinis had 3 children (twin daughters Isabella and Isotta were born in 1952) and were facing financial ruin.
		Bergman's "comeback" film, "Anastasia" was released the year her "Casablanca" co-star Humphrey Bogart succumbed to cancer, and in the wake of his death, sentiment for their film carried over to Ms.

	Metromix. `Stromboli' quality survived scandal
		Few films have had a bigger rise in critical/cultural standing than "Stromboli." Once dismissed as a scandal-ridden bore, it's now generally hailed, in Europe, as the first chapter of one of the supreme film director-actress collaborations: Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman.
		Bergman plays a Lithuanian refugee who tries to escape the chaos of post-war Europe by marrying an Italian fisherman (Mario Vitale) and moving with him to his volcanic island of Stromboli.
		A fish out of water, she is rejected by the villagers, her alienation heightened by the rocky, isolated, sea-lashed landscape.

	Vulcano / Volcano / 1950 / film review / William Dieterle / Anna Magnani
		Vulcano was made at the same time (and in the same location – in fact, on an adjacent island) that Roberto Rossellini was making his own volcano-centric drama – Stromboli.
		It is likely that Anna Magnani made Vulcano as an act of revenge against her former companion, Rossellini, when he left her to pursue his love affair with Ingrid Bergman (who stars in Stromboli).
		Aware of her disreputable past, the islanders treat Maddalena with contempt, and the only friends she has are her younger sister, Maria, and her small brother.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Ingrid Bergman
		A love affair with Italian director Roberto Rossellini during the filming of Stromboli in 1950 created a scandal that forced her to return to Europe, but she made a successful Hollywood comeback in 1956, winning her second Academy Award for the title role in Anastasia.
		Film critic James Agee wrote that "Miss Bergman not only bears a startling resemblance to an imaginable human being; she really knows how to act, in a blend of poetic grace with quiet realism." Selznick exercised his option for the extended contract and recalled her from Sweden.
		When David Selznick saw a print of Bergman in the Swedish film, he was unimpressed, but he was persuaded by Katharine Brown, his story-buyer, that the proposed American remake of Intermezzo would only be successful with Ingrid in the role of the pianist.

		When Pinocchio is captured by Stromboli, he realizes the consequences of his sin and disobedience.

		Pinocchio is led astray by the wicked Honest John and his companion Gideon, who turn him over to an evil puppeteer, Stromboli.
		The film is felt by many film historians to be the most technically perfect of all the Disney animated features.
		Pinocchio is sent to Pleasure Island, where wicked boys are turned into donkeys, but he escapes with the aid of his friend and conscience, Jiminy Cricket, and eventually redeems himself by saving his father, Geppetto, who has been swallowed by Monstro, the whale.

	Top Disney animator Frank Thomas dies
		Thomas created the spaghetti dinner scene between Lady and Rover in "Lady and the Tramp'' and dreamed up Thumper showing Bambi how to ice skate in "Bambi.'' He helped design Pinocchio and was responsible for the scene in which the marionette gets trapped inside a birdcage by the evil Stromboli.
		"Frank helped to invent animation as an art form and took it to incredible new heights,'' film critic Leonard Maltin said.
		Thomas joined Disney in 1934 when the studio had only just begun working on "Snow White,'' its first full-length animated feature film.

		As one friend observed about Stromboli, "What [Roberto] was really interested in was capturing Ingrid not so much to make a film, but for love."
		Though the actor had never had a relationship with a leading lady, and the ingenue had never been in a film, what transpired was one of Hollywood's most storied affairs.
		And so began a love affair as big and stormy as the $40 million production they met on.
