Always seemed like an oddly overlooked film. DeSica directed, Loren is very effective and won an Oscar, Belmondo solid in a small role. Terrific film of what war evils are really like. Yet I almost never hear it mentioned. The title may appear simplistic, but it's a film about how the daughter becomes a woman.
Worth tracking down.

So we’re just calling everything the worst cover now? If nothing else, it fits the movie perfectly
