Check out Goffredo Alessandrini's "Noi Vivi/Addio Kira", based on Ayn Rand's novel. It was made during the Fascist period in Italy and has some great stuff going on on the margins: an anti-communist discourse within a Fascist context but with a fairly sympathetic Bolschevik. It was immediately pulled from circulation when it was released in 1942 (somehow it squeaked by the censors) but is now available on videotape, at least in this country. Buona fortuna!
