What happens
From a Roman Balcony (Italian: La giornata balorda, French: Ça s'est passé à Rome) is a 1960 Italian–French drama film directed by Mauro Bolognini. It is based on several stories by Alberto Moravia, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Pier Paolo Pasolini and Marco Visconti. The Italian theatrical release suffered several censorship problems, including the blocking of screenings, and a criminal complaint against director Bolognini and screenwriters Moravia and Pasolini. The film was also shown under the alternate English titles Pickup in Rome, A Crazy Day and Love is a Day's Work. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
