PRONTO PRONTO TELEFONINO

LA VOIX HUMAINE conceived and written by Jean Cocteau is the anguished story of an emotional woman on the phone desperately trying to convince her lover not to leave her.
(A young woman has been interrupted during a telephone call from her lover of five years. He has abandoned her and is to marry another woman the following day. This is the last time they will speak to each other. During the conversation, we learn that the woman has attempted suicide. The phone service in Paris being notoriously poor during that era, they are interrupted several times during the agonizing conversation.)


Yes I know. Been there. Anna Magnani, Brilliant.
