The Fear of Love

The film was originally called "The fires of San Martino". Left unfinished, it was finished in 1950 with the addition of some sequences.

Raymonde (Bertini) has had a passionate affair with Giacomo (Giorgio Bonaiti) and has a son with him. Life has taken a different turn, however, and Giacomo has married Elena (Mary Fleuron).

Consuelita, a young woman who longs to escape the harsh conditions of her small fishing village, is married off to a wealthy, mentally ill Englishman. (Melo)drama ensues.

Most likely made for the large Neapolitan immigrant population in the States, Roberto Leone Roberti’s love poem to Naples more than captures the heartache of the countless émigrés who were forced by economic circumstances to leave their homeland.

Emma Vallona, an oriental dancer, is suffocated by the debts of her wasteful life; in order to appease her creditors, she does not hesitate to have a promissory note endorsed by the minister d'Angy, who is thus swept up in the scandal and sees his political career destroyed. In the meantime, Emma has moved to Spain under the false name of Madame d'Ambois: she continues to frequent the high society, where her attractiveness puts her at the center of the attention.

Considered the first spaghetti-western ever. The director Roberto Roberti being the father of Sergio Leone along with member of the cast Bice Valerian, wife of the director and mother of Sergio Leone.
