What happens

Shadows Over Trieste (Italian: Ombre su Trieste) is a 1952 Italian war drama film directed by Nerino Florio Bianchi and starring Giulio Donnini, Livio Lorenzon and Adriana Innocenti. It was part of a group of films made around the time that asserted Italy's unquestionable right to the disputed Free Territory of Trieste. It was funded by investors in Trieste and featured several local actors including Ketty Burba, a former Miss Trieste. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
