Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Questi Ragazzi (Those Children) is the story of a December-December romance. An elderly man and woman, both long widowed, inaugurate a surprisingly passionate romance. So frisky are the aged lovers that they are referred to as "those children" by their own children. As it turns out, the oldsters set an excellent example for younger, less-romantic husband Vittorio de Sica, whose ardor for his equally young, equally undemonstrative wife is eventually rekindled. Questi Ragazzi was adapted from a popular stage comedy by Gherardo Gherardi.
