:"The Witch Burnt Alive"After a very long, but visually arresting animated opening credits sequence, Luchino Visconti (Death in Venice) directs the first story, which is the longest of the five, taking approximately a third of the film's running length. Mangano plays a superstar actress and model who travels to a mountain resort, only to find the well-to-do inhabitants have prejudices and preconceived notions about her based on her public persona. The women are all jealous and the men all want to sleep with her, but all Mangano wants is to be left alone. It's a mostly somber satirical piece, but story-wise, it languishes in its modest idea a bit long, becoming inconsequential to all but those fascinated by the realities of being famous."Community Spirit"Bolognini's piece isn't really a story. It's more of a visual gag, in a short segment that features Mangano offering to take an injured man to a hospital, driving him at breakneck speed throughout the city, but not stopping at locations where he might find aid. I won't give away the punchline here, but it succeeds in being amusing, even if it's the kind of thing that only is interesting the first time through."The Earth Seen from the Moon"The esteemed writer/director, Pier Paolo Pasolini (Salo), crafts the middle segment, which is the most artistic and memorable of the five. Reminiscent in style to "Don Quixote", a recently widowed father and his son travel around the country in search of a new wife and mother, and after a long period, they discover the literally speechless Mangano. She brings joy into their lives, but they are poor, and in order to find a better life for themselves, they concoct a scheme to try to make some quick cash. The story is contrived, and not completely interesting, but the outlandish performances, artwork, and costumes does evoke great charm and likeability. Although mute, it's probably the most appealing of Mangano's five performances, and Toto is terrific."The Sicilian"Franco Rossi directs the fourth an shortest piece, a straight-forward revenge story that comes and goes before it ever has a chance of becoming interesting. It's violent, but easily the least satisfying of the five stories."A Night Like Any Other"Eastwood's appearance is clearly the biggest attraction here, which was filmed in between the Sergio Leone "Dollars" trilogy. It's an enjoyable departure from his normal roles, playing a comedic romantic lead, and he is affably fun to watch. Famed Italian director, Vittorio de Sica (The Bicycle Thief, Umberto D.) does a masterful job with the story, which perfectly blends the mundane and the fantasy in a visually satisfying way. The story is about a bored housewife (Mangano, of course), who tries in vain to get her husband to realize that he is not as romantic as he used to be. The scene is interspersed with comedic romance sequences revolving around the couple's past romantic interludes, and dreams of how their lives should be.

:1918年,在俄国革命影响下的蒙古。蒙古牧民贝尔带着珍贵的貂皮前往被英国干涉军队和白俄占据的要塞市场出售。商人强行低价收购他的貂皮。他不堪屈辱,愤而与商人发生冲突,最后逃往大漠。他加入游击队抗击白俄军队,不幸被捕。就在执行枪决时,他被发现是成吉思汗的后裔,被解救并被扶植成傀儡。白俄和英国干涉军想借他之手更好地统治蒙古。具有强烈民族自尊感的贝尔却毅然走上了反抗异族奴役与压迫的道路。他以成吉思汗子孙的名义,率领蒙古的各游牧民族,以风扫残云之势,驱逐了异族侵略者。本片是前苏联著名电影导演普多夫金在西方世界博得最高赞誉的一部杰作。与爱森斯坦相反,普多夫金以一个主人公为中心来展开描写,生动地刻画了贝尔这位思想觉悟的蒙古牧民形象。影片具有浓厚的人种学色彩,逼真地再现了蒙古游牧民族的生活和喇嘛寺院举行佛事的盛大景况。全片有完整的叙事结构,是一部雄伟的巨著。它以貂皮这个不起眼的细节逐步引发出惊天动地的大事件,剧情的张力依据一步一步强化的加速度,推进、堆积到一个点而予以总爆发。片尾荒原上骤起的风具有排山倒海之势,把侵略者吹得溃不成军,充分象征了被压迫民族不甘屈服、抗击强暴的伟大力量。这一震撼人心的高潮场面已成为经典而载入电影史册。
