I saw the film many times in the 1970s...apparently this is a mess of a DVD!!!!!
and from IMDB:
Gianni, Nicola and Antonio become close friends in 1944 while fighting the Nazis. After the end of the war, full of illusions, they settle down. The movie is a the story of the life of these three idealists and how they deal with the inevitable disillusionments of life. Written by Yepok
Antonio, Gianni e Nicola hanno combattuto con i partigiani durante l'ultimo conflitto mondiale. Alla Liberazione i tre si perdono di vista. Antonio diventa portantino di Ospedale; Nicola fa il critico cinematografico fallito; Gianni sposa, senza amore, Elide, la figlia di un rozzo ed arrogante arricchito, ottenendo soldi e successo, ma anche solitudine ed infelicità. Tutti e tre, in tempi diversi, hanno una storia con Luciana, aspirante attrice. Alla fine Antonio sposerà Luciana e continuerà a lottare con lei per i propri diritti; Nicola lascerà casa e famiglia; Gianni, ormai vedovo e solo, non riuscirà a confidare agli amici, incontrati per caso, le proprie sconfitte. "Volevamo cambiare il mondo, ma il mondo ha cambiato noi!", commenta sconsolato uno dei protagonisti. Written by rosebud6
Rating:  - C'eravamo Tanto Amati
This unmitigated joy of a film is truly hilarious, even as parts of it break your heart. It follows the progress of a generation, personified in three wartime buddies who drift apart and then briefly converge again. There is failure, heartbreak, regret, but the message seems to be that love- and friendship- conquer all...that and the movies themselves, as Scola uses the progression of Italian cinema over this fertile period as warm, wonderful seasoning. (In one memorable scene, Antonio's ambulance is delayed in Rome as Fellini and Mastroianni-in delightful cameos-shoot the famous Trevi Fountain scene from "La Dolce Vita". Though the quality of the print is not top-notch, it takes little away from all that magic on-screen.
Rating:  - Great film, poor image quality
The movie is a great classic, but the restoration of this DVD is terrible. It is very blurry and noisy, the colors are off, and the compression is slipshod. The English translation is top-notch though. A film such as this should be done justice when released. The video transfer of the Eagle Pictures DVD ("Capolavori - Edizione Restaurata") is better by far. If you want this dvd for Italian language-learning purposes, then it is fine. But if you want to see Scola's masterpiece properly, get the Eagle Pictures dvd.
Rating: - Ettore Scoula-We all loved each other so much
A Classic Italian " feelgood movie" whith lots of references to Italian film history ,including Frederico Fellini himself,who makes a cameo apperance as himselfe directing the famous Anita Ekberg in Fontana di trevi scene from La dolce Vita.
Ettore Scoula at his best!
Rating: - one movie about directors and life
Movie about other movies is commmon (Trauffats "la nuit ammericaine" one of the best, other in the absence of ideas directors do remakes), but over directors, politics and social life is rare. This movie is a tribute to great italian directors: De Sica, Rosselini and Fellini. Besides it shows how the social life changes in Italy after wars, since Mussolini times up to the sixties having love as background. I hope all Scola's movies will be in DVD soon, as La Cena and other.
