A young cadet is assigned a task: to accompany the blind and partially immobile captain Faust on his way from Turin to Naples. When in Rome, the profligate captain Fausto summons a priest to ask for his blessing since he means to fulfil a suicide pact. In Naples Fausto wants to meet with his comrade-in-arms – an army officer who also lost eyesight, but who is a good drinking companion. Also in Naples is Sara, a woman in love with Fausto. Will the scent of a woman soften the heart of a blinded man for whom life has lost its meaning? (4 živly)

I have already watched the American remake, and in comparison to it, the Italian drama holds up better. I have raised my rating from the original four stars to five. This is what an honest film looks like. Dino Risi knows how to work with human emotions very well and handles the screenplay in a way that does not slide into cheap sentimentality, even though the story of a disabled officer who has lost his sight directly invites it. First and foremost, it is a drama about love, but also about coming to terms with one's disability. The musical component is very good, and the main melody resonated with me for a long time. Vittorio Gassman did a great job in his difficult role; his cynical and bitter officer Fausto is brilliantly played, and the actor rightfully received a whole series of festival awards for it. What I appreciate about the film is its realistically conceived environment and the fact that the director was not afraid to incorporate many dark elements into his film. Overall impression: 90%.
