　　意大利新现实主义的代表作，但因其反应现实的力度致使当时的意大利政府采取了全面封杀的态度，结果使这部片子的知名度大幅度降低，但本片无论从表现手法，还是演员表演，到对社会，人性的刻画揭露，无不表现出深厚的功力和艺术水准，其成就足以使它超越《偷自新兵日记之特战英雄行车的人》成为新现实主义的巅峰之作

　　The last year of life of the Italian-French painter Amedeo Modigliani (1884-寒谷狐1920) who died with 36 years, was played by Gérard Philipe, who was lethally sick during the shooting of this movie and died shortly after its release, 1959, with 36 years - on one of the two diseases that Modigliano had himself and exactly in his age. Further, this movie was directed by Jacques Becker - after the sudden death of Max Ophüls. Becker, too, died only 2 years after this movie.
