Donne Senza Nome on AllMovie

Director Geza von Radvanyi gained fame for his postwar docudrama It Happened in Europe. Thereafter, he essentially made same film over and over, with overdoses of sentiment. Radvanyi's Women in Prison is also known as Women Without Names. Unlike the earlier Hollywood film of same name, the story does not take place "in stir", but in the postwar detention camps where Italian women were forced to stay until repatriated. Valentina Cortesa, Francoise Rosay and Simone Simon are among better known actresses in durance vile, sharing their pleasures, pain and innermost secrets. Women in Prison was originally released in 1949 as Donne senza Nome.
