Marlene, Laura, and Bianca all sit in a circle. They eye each other warily before shifting their gaze to Robert, a charming, handsome and sympathetic-looking man. Robert says he's a sex addict. Laura sits in silence but it becomes clear that she's not just watching the party, but staring at one guy in particular as he laughs and jokes along with a pretty girl across the room. She looks on with a bit of envy, clearly wishing she could take the place of the girl he's talking to. Teen Bianca is giggling wildly and gasping at the outrageous things her boyfriend is saying on the other end of the line, which seem like provocative sexual advances. Marlene is fussing when her boyfriend, Tom, comes up behind her and puts his hands comfortingly on her shoulders. Just relax, he tells her, she just needs to breathe and not stress out so much. She tells him she can't help but be worried - this is her one chance to reconnect with Alyssa, and she doesn't want to screw it up
Hou Yao wrote, directed and starred in A Poet from the Sea (1927). It was shot in Stanley, Hong Kong. The surviving copy was only 23-minute long, but Hou Yao's romantic side was obvious through the scenic location and beautiful set-up. The love story between Poet (Hou Yao) and his lover (Lee Dan-dan) was pure and lyrical, a gem from China Sun Motion Picture Company (Shanghai) in the 1920s.

Despite of (or perhaps because of ) its sparse production values and unpretentiousness, the Italian Gli Innamorati was feted at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. The bulk of the story takes place in a single Roman neighborhood. In the manner of the 1925 German classic A Joyless Street, director Mauro Bolognini studies the hopes, dreams, successes and failures of the neighborhood's various and sundry denizens. No one subplot dominates the proceedings, though a bit of extra time is afforded the story of a fickle seamstress and her seemingly meek-and-mild boyfriend. The cast is dotted with such reassuringly familiar faces as Nino Manfredi and Gino Cervi. Released in the US as Wild Love, Gli Innamorati was instrumental in bringing international fame to director Bolognini, whose career soon shifted into high drive.
