Interesting facts

L'amore (Love) is a 1948 Italian drama anthology film directed by Roberto Rossellini, starring Anna Magnani and Federico Fellini. It consists of two parts, The Human Voice, based on Jean Cocteau's 1929 play of the same title, and The Miracle, based on Ramón del Valle-Inclán's 1904 novel Flor de santidad.

Production

While Rossellini was preparing his next film, Germany, Year Zero, Anna Magnani suggested to the director to adapt Cocteau's play The Human Voice which she had already performed on stage in 1942. Rossellini agreed and, because he and Magnani were staying in Paris at the time, filmed the first episode in a studio in Paris with a French crew.

In order to enable the short film a regular release, Rossellini had Federico Fellini script a second piece for Magnani, based on Valle-Inclán's novel Flor de santidad, which Rossellini turned into a screenplay with Tullio Pinelli.
