The Cinema of ItalyWhite telephonesThe season of the white telephones lasted only for a brief period of time. The name came from the presence of white telephones seen in some scenes of movies produced during this time, a symptom of social well-being: a status symbol to differentiate from the black telephones, a more popular color. Contemporary film critics prefer to call these movies in the style of the Hungarian Comedy, because, although the movies were produced in Italy, almost all of them used themes and settings from Hungarian authors and therefore taking place in Hungary, also for censorship reasons (the preferred subject of these comedies, was a threat of adultery or divorce, unthinkable in Italy during those years): the city of Bucharest is often named, or another definition to this genre is Cinema Deco for the overwhelming presence of d?cor that recalls the international style of Art Deco, very popular in this period. |
