Question

How is Italian classic cinema different from Hollywood classic?

Answer 1

Perhaps the most popular genre of all, one that continued to thrive during the entire postwar period, was the so-called commedia all'italiana or “comedy, Italian style,” a form of comic film indebted not only to the traditional commedia dell'arte but also to a collection of brilliant actors and scriptwriter-directors.
