Radiance Films has provided an exclusive trailer for the recent 4K restoration Valerio Zurlini's Girl with a Suitcase (1961), starring Claudia Cardinale, Jacques Perrin, Luciana Angiolillo, Renato Baldini, and Riccardo Garrone. Girl with a Suitcase will be released on Blu-ray in the United States and the United Kingdom in April.
Description: Aida (Claudia Cardinale, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Day of the Owl) has fallen for a rich playboy and arrives at his door to find it firmly shut and herself ignored. His younger, more sensitive brother, Lorenzo (Jacques Perrin, Cinema Paradiso) helps her and finds himself quickly besotted. Cardinale gives one of her most tender and vulnerable performances in Girl with a Suitcase, an unsentimental coming-of-age story that deals as much with adolescence as class. A vital director of Italy's post-war cinema, Valerio Zurlini's small but remarkable body of work deserves to be discussed among the greats.
