In honor of Labor Day, hers is I compagni, a 1963 Italian film starring Marcello Mastroianni.  His character is on the run from the police, but meets a group of Turninese factory workers who are starting a strike.  He helps them organize.

Graumans Chinese -- Marcello Mastroianni -- February 9, 2018

In July, 2012 we paid a return visit to Hollywood and Grauman's Chinese Theater. Sid Grauman was a San Francisco showman who came to Los Angeles and built three major houses, the Million Dollar, the Egyptian, and the Chinese. The theater has hosted many film premieres, but is most famous for the hand and footprints (and hoofprints and nose prints and other types of prints) in the forecourt.

Marcello Mastroianni, one of my favorite actors, left his hand and footprints on 08-February-1965. He was funny and good-looking. I liked his movies starring with Sophia Loren, directed by Fellini and Visconti and especially Big Deal on Madonna Street.
