Watch: Wild Is the Wind 1957 123movies, Full Movie Online – Italian immigrant Gino Micelli and his wife Rosanna started with virtually nothing, which Gino has now built up into a successful northern Nevada sheep farming operation with his brother Alberto, Alberto’s wife Teresa, and their longtime hand, Bene. Gino hired Bene when he was just a boy and treats him like a son – planning on giving him the entire operation when the time comes – Bene being his true son which he has long planned as he has always seen Bene marrying his now twenty-one year old daughter, Angie, although neither Bene or Angie has ever said anything to Gino about it or has ever needed to say anything to the other in it never coming to pass in not feeling that way about the other. As Rosanna has long passed, and as Angie is away at school in Boston, Gino has made the decision to marry Rosanna’s sister Gioia in Italy without the two even having met beforehand, she who will move to Nevada to live on the farm. Although Gino and Gioia both want the marriage to work, obstacles are raised in it truly being able to work. Knowing it or not, Gino wants her to be “Rosanna”, who she is not either in true being or in temperament. As hard as Gino tries to please Gioia, his efforts always seem to be what he wants for her and not what she really wants. And while Gioia wants to be treated like a true human being and not the spirit of her dead sister, she also does not want her life mapped out for her like Gino seems to have done. Watching from the sidelines, Bene begins to develop feelings for Gioia himself, feelings which he knows can’t continue as long as he remains in Gino’s employ and remains Gino’s friend..
Plot: A widowed Nevada rancher goes to Italy and marries the sister of his deceased wife and brings her back to the ranch, but his haunting memories of his lost love and her tendency to drift away to other men cause the two to have a tough time at keeping a marriage together.

Titanic meeting
Its not enough to say that Johnny Mathis sings the title song over the opening credits.With Cukor directing this grand meeting of Anthony Quinn and Anna Magnani thats says enough.The plot has its melodramatic moments for sure and its another film with the wonderful Dolores Hart who only a few years alter would become a nun.This also has the merits of Anthony Franciosca really playing his best role for many years in films.
Franciosca, falls for Magnani in a lustful way while Quinn is away from the ranch.Its really the sweeping scenes and the acting of Quinn and Magnani that moves the film.
Looking back , it would have been a treasure to see Magnani act in more US Films ( The Rose Tattoo) but that didn’t happen. Finally , in her eyes we see how she made ” Open City” ( Rosselini) a memorable film. Produced by the best…Hal Wallis CP
Not the best of Quinn!
Anthony Quinn (an actor I’m very fond of) and Anna Magnani have both been nominated for an Oscar for this film which, for me, means nothing. Quinn and Magnani are both giant actors, but here they are not at their best. In fact, both are playing themselves. I’ve seen both of them in almost all their movies and I can figure it out. Watch them in “The Secret of Santa Vittoria” and you will understand. The actors in the secondary roles, Dolores Hart, Lili Valenty, Joseph Calleia, are much more convincing. Anthony Franciosa, as usual, is not convincing at all. A movie for the faithful fans of the two protagonists, Magnani and Quinn, who will be disappointed.
