The Rose Tattoo (1955) starring Anna Magnani, Burt Lancaster. Magnani won a Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of a widow haunted by her love for her dead husband -- and by the rumor that he had a lover. Lancaster hams it up as the clownish man who comes into her life three years after she is widowed. He's supposed to be Sicilian -- not very convincing. Based on a play by Tennessee Williams, the film also won an Oscar for cinematography. I liked Magnani's performance, but found Lancaster irritating. The disc features English subtitles, as well as closed captions for the hearing-impaired. Grade: B
