The Adventures of Roberto Rossellini: His Life and FilmsRoberto Rossellini (1906 1977) movie maker, bon vivant, and passionate intellectual was the key figure of Italian neo realism, the godfather of the French New Wave, and a television pioneer; the maker of such classics as Open City, Paisan, Stromboli, Flowers of St. Francis, Voyage in Italy, and Louis XIV; Anna Magnani's lover; Ingrid Bergman's husband; and Isabella Rossellini's father.

Roberto Rossellini (1906-1977)--movie-maker, bon vivant, and passionate intellectual--was the key figure of Italian neo-realism, the godfather of the French New Wave, and a television pioneer; the maker of such classics as Open City, Paisan, Stromboli, Flowers of St. Francis, Voyage in Italy, and Louis XIV; Anna Magnani's lover; Ingrid Bergman's husband; and Isabella Rossellini's father. Continually enmeshed in controversy, perhaps no other figure in the history of world cinema has been so reviled--and so revered. Tag Gallagher's masterful biography of Rossellini, the first in any language, was fifteen years in the making. It is the result of assiduous research, lengthy interviews with almost everyone who knew him, and investigations into the making and reception of his films. The cast of characters includes Vittorio Mussolini, Il Duce's son and Rossellini's Fascist-era producer; Howard Hughes, who produced Stromboli and then, in a fit of jealousy over Ingrid Bergman, butchered its American release; and dozens of other people. Combining a portrait of a dynamic and daring man with brilliant discussions of his work, Tag Gallagher tells a story as rich and moving as Rossellini's miraculous films.

Better quality and even better price
Size: One Size, Color: Cognac (Hundson)
The Timberland leather wallet has a classic look and feels high quality. The leather is soft but sturdy and breaks in nicely with use. It has plenty of card slots and room for cash without being too bulky. The stitching feels durable and built to last. Best of all, the price here was more affordable than buying directly from Timberland, making it an even better value.

Great high quality wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Brown
Great wallet! Gifted to my boyfriend and he loves it. It has a nice leather and looks fantastic. It took some time like any leather to stretch out and fold nicer. Once worn into it has a nice slim fit! Only complaint is there is one spot you can’t put a card because it won’t fold.

Trifold style is perfect.
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Brown
Great style with the half fold and loved the inner section. Very stylish and many color choices. The negative is the material is very stiff. Not a soft leather. Maybe it will break in eventually.
