The Adventures of Roberto Rossellini: His Life and FilmsRoberto Rossellini (1906 1977) movie maker, bon vivant, and passionate intellectual was the key figure of Italian neo realism, the godfather of the French New Wave, and a television pioneer; the maker of such classics as Open City, Paisan, Stromboli, Flowers of St. Francis, Voyage in Italy, and Louis XIV; Anna Magnani's lover; Ingrid Bergman's husband; and Isabella Rossellini's father.

Roberto Rossellini (1906-1977)--movie-maker, bon vivant, and passionate intellectual--was the key figure of Italian neo-realism, the godfather of the French New Wave, and a television pioneer; the maker of such classics as Open City, Paisan, Stromboli, Flowers of St. Francis, Voyage in Italy, and Louis XIV; Anna Magnani's lover; Ingrid Bergman's husband; and Isabella Rossellini's father. Continually enmeshed in controversy, perhaps no other figure in the history of world cinema has been so reviled--and so revered. Tag Gallagher's masterful biography of Rossellini, the first in any language, was fifteen years in the making. It is the result of assiduous research, lengthy interviews with almost everyone who knew him, and investigations into the making and reception of his films. The cast of characters includes Vittorio Mussolini, Il Duce's son and Rossellini's Fascist-era producer; Howard Hughes, who produced Stromboli and then, in a fit of jealousy over Ingrid Bergman, butchered its American release; and dozens of other people. Combining a portrait of a dynamic and daring man with brilliant discussions of his work, Tag Gallagher tells a story as rich and moving as Rossellini's miraculous films.Binding Type: Paperback

Ehh
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
Very thin, still comfy but very thin material. Super soft though. I've worn and washed and they have held up but I won't be repurchasing bc these are so thin

They’re fantastic!!!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
My clothing size is 16/18 and XL. Even though Amazon suggested a size XXL, I ordered my normal XL and they fit perfectly.
The fabric for this style is 92% bamboo viscose and is amazingly soft and almost silky feeling. I had ordered a different boy short in this brand but they were 80% bamboo viscose and the fabric was significantly heavier. I returned those and ordered these.

this is my go to when needing new underwear.
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Black/Navy/Dark Purple/Red
Love these boyshorts for women. They're so comfortable, no crawling and breathable. I recommend for plus size women who has legs rubbing together causing irritation. Nice price as well. This is my go to when needing new underwear.

Great!
Size: Small, Color: Black/Heather Gray/White/Nude
Comfy, good fit, good quality cotton and flat seams around the crotch. Normal size small. I wouldn’t wear these with yoga pants, but nice under looser fitting garments. I would buy more colors.

There is a seam up the front. I think perhaps it being seamless would be better.
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Like anything off Amazon I wasnt expecting anything perfect and ready to have to mail it back.
Pleasantly surprised by the softness and durability. The waist band isn't to small on a medium so it fits actually so comfy.
I wear them as underwear and as shorts for my skirts n dresses.
Id recommend but I say size up if you want a comfy fit. But down if you want a fitted fit fit. Comfy still is fitted but better feeling on if that makes sense.
Also the crotch of the shorts/undies has essentially extra fabric sewed in creating that nice comfort. Ill snag a photo when I have time.
