Pay you no mind to these pranksters and silly-willies. A few of us "serious" cinema afficionados appreciate your post extending an invitation to querry you with regards to your recent Criterion dvd acquisitions. What I'm most intrigued about, and perhaps with your "coup" you may be in a position to better enlighten me and my fellow cinephiles- Is "F" really and truly for "Fake"? I patiently await your reply.

And, yes, it's still called horsey sauce.

Anyway, this is one fine transfer when you compare to the fate reserved to other Italian films of the era on DVD (Le Bambole, The Girl with a Suitcase, etc.).

He has a good job working as a railroad man, but Andrea Marcocci is not happy. An obscure disease haunts him. His daughter Giulia leaves her husband, seeking shelter in the arms of another man, who does not love her. Andrea’s good–for-nothing son storms out after one argument too many with his father. Unable to face these troubles alone, Andrea starts to drink. Inevitably, the booze
interferes with his work and he causes a serious rail accident. Desperately trying to hold onto his job, he goes to work on a strike day, further alienating himself from his friends and colleagues.
Severely attacked by the leftist Italian critics of its time, THE RAILROAD MAN is a heartfelt cry against many of the problems that plagued Italian society during the mid-50’s. And, it is an undisputed masterpiece of its director and star Pietro Germi (DIVORCE - ITALIAN STYLE, SEDUCED AND ABANDONED). Written by Germi (who gives a passionate performance as Andrea) and Luciano Vincenzoni (FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE), the film also features a magnificent score by maestro Carlo Rustichelli (KILL, BABY… KILL!). The extraordinary ensemble cast includes Sylva Koscina, (JULIET OF THE SPIRITS, LISA AND THE DEVIL) as Giulia plus Saro Urzi (THE GODFATHER’s Vitelli); Carlo Giuffré (Geppetto in Roberto Benigni’s PINOCCHIO); Edoardo Nevola (A MAN OF STRAW) and Franco Fantasia (one of Italy’s premier character actors).
Digitally remastered from the original vault negative, for the first time ever uncut on DVD in America, THE RAILROAD MAN is a masterpiece of late Italian neo-realism and cannot be missed.
