A volcanic Magnani soars
The 1950s saw many of Tennessee Williams’ plays adapted into films. “The Glass Menagerie,” “A Streetcar Named Desire,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” and “Suddenly, Last Summer” achieved critical acclaim and popular success at the box office, as did “The Rose Tattoo,” which combined the talents of a Hollywood movie star and an Italian actress in her first American film.<br /><br />Serafina Della Rosa (Anna Magnani) is an immigrant seamstress from Sicily living on Florida’s Gulf Coast. She adores her handsome husband, Rosario, a truck driver who, unbeknownst to her, is also a small-time smuggler. When he dies in a police chase that ends in a fiery accident, she becomes reclusive, mourning his death for years and causing her young daughter, Rosa (Marisa Pavan), great distress. Now about to graduate from high school, Rosa meets and falls in love with sailor Jack Hunter (Ben Cooper). They want to marry, but Serafina is suspicious of Jack’s motives and tries to force Rosa to be as reclusive and repressed as she is.<br /><br />Serafina learns that her trusted husband was unfaithful and his mistress had the rose tattoo on his chest copied onto her own. Rosa becomes consumed with ferocious grief at his betrayal and jealousy of her daughter’s new-found love turns into extreme possessiveness. However, when she meets another handsome truck driver at a church bazaar, the stifling barriers she has established for herself begin to fade. The man is Alvaro Mangiacavallo (Burt Lancaster), a high-spirited fellow who is attracted to Serafina and rekindles a long-dormant flame within her.<br /><br />Magnani’s performance is extraordinary. Her emotions, whether grief, anger, lust, or joy, are conveyed with such totality that they become entirely believable. With another actress, such a performance might be regarded as “actorly” or grandstanding, but Magnani makes them completely believable. What’s more, she’s absolutely riveting on screen, with her darting, suspicious eyes and body language conveying  smoldering passion beneath a veneer of gentility and mourning. She can be equally effective with a fiery temper or consumed with grief as with enchantment by Alvaro’s clownishness. The entire first half of the film is devoted to Magnani’s Serafina. Lancaster doesn’t make his first appearance (with one brief exception) until 50 minutes into the film.<br /><br />And it’s worth the wait. With a performance that holds its own against Magnani’s, Lancaster plays Alvaro as a carefree lover of life who manages to find joy in everything. His laugh is a big and impressive as his physique. He’s quite the opposite of Serafina, and his physicality and good looks soften her hard heart. There’s an easy camaraderie between them, making it seem as if they’ve known each other for years. It take a while, but she can’t resist Alvaro. However, there are setbacks and disappointments, suspicions and recriminations when the two personalities clash.<br /><br />Pavan and Cooper, as the young lovers, offer contrast to Serafina and Alvaro. Idealistic, seeing only happiness ahead, they are eager to start a life together. Though they lack the instant chemistry of Magnani and Lancaster, their characters are pleasant and represent a budding relationship free of psychological baggage.<br /><br />Director Daniel Mann nicely opened up the stage play, even though a lot of the action takes place in Serafina’s home. There are scenes in a nightclub, at a tattoo parlor, and on streets near Serafina’s house. The best parts of the film are the scenes between Magnani and Lancaster and their obviously comfortable rapport. They bristle with dialogue from Williams’ own screenplay, adapted by Hal Kanter. Lancaster is funny and almost boyish in his playfulness with Magnani, as his Alvaro woos and tries to charm Serafina. Lighter in tone than other Williams works, “The Rose Tattoo” draws us in with its portrait of Serafina, brought to life in a terrific showcase performance by Anna Magnani.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the unrated, All-Region Blu-ray release include an audio commentary, featurette, and theatrical trailer.<br /><br />Instead of Williams’ trademark decadence, the South in “The Rose Tattoo” focuses on the Italian immigrant experience. Anna Magnani’s performance adds credibility to Sicilian views of family, gender roles, and honor. Burt Lancaster overacts as Alvaro, but it is appropriate for the role. His character brightens Serafina’s bleak, years-long despair and allows her to see that life offers more for her than loneliness and bitterness.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : HER BLOOD BOILED WITH DESIRE. RAGED WITH JEALOUS FURY!Anna Magnani plays Serafina Delle Rose, who retreats from the world when her beloved husband dies. But Serafina reawakens to life's joys when she meets Alvaro (Burt Lancaster), a happy-go-lucky truck driver who has the same sunny openness her husband had, even the same occupation. And on his chest is the same symbol of love, The Rose Tattoo. When Tennessee Williams wrote The Rose Tattoo, he had one actress in mind - Anna Magnani. William's sense of casting proved as sharp as his ear for dialogue. Magnani won the Best Actress Oscar for her bravura portrayal in this drama that received eight Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture) and won three. Starring Anna Magnani, Burt Lancaster, Marisa Pavan & Ben Cooper.
