"C'eravamo tanto amati" (U.S. title: "We All Loved Each Other So Much") is a 1974 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Ettore Scola and written by Scola and the famous screenwriter duo of Age & Scarpelli. It stars Stefania Sandrelli, Vittorio Gassman, Nino Manfredi, Stefano Satta Flores and Aldo Fabrizi, among others.

It is generally considered one of the finest and most influential movies of the so-called "commedia all'italiana" genre.Fact|date=February 2007

Plot

In the first part (shot in black-and-white) the friends Gianni (Gassman), Antonio (Manfredi) and Nicola (Satta Flores) are left-winged partisans who fight for the liberation of Italy from the Nazi-Fascist occupation. After the end of World War II, the three go for different lives: Nicola in Nocera Inferiore (southern Italy), Antonio in Rome and Gianni in Pavia.

Later, both Antonio and Gianni fall in love with young Luciana (Sandrelli), and through their relationships go back to the history of post-war Italy, along with the related hopes and disappointments.

Gianni, now a lawyer's assistant, moves to Rome and arranges to marry the semi-illiterate daughter of a construction tycoon with questionable fame. Antonio, worker in a hospital, has instead remained stuck with the ideals of their youth, and is now a fervent communist activist. Nicola, the most intellectual of the trio, leaves Nocera and his family and moves to Rome, too, to try win a fortune on the famous TV quiz "Lascia o raddoppia". After his failure, he leads an economically troubled life writing occasional articles for newspapers, increasingly turning himself into a caricature of an intellectual, lost into futile polemics.

The films ends as a bitter apologue about missing occasions and radical changements in everyone's ideals.

Awards

The film won a César Award for Best Foreign Film in 1977. It also won two Silver Ribbons (Italian cinema critics award, for Fabrizi and Ralli) and the Golden Prize in the 1975 Moscow International Film Festival.

Trivia

The film features popular figures of Italian cinema and TV in cameo appearances: These include directors Federico Fellini and Vittorio De Sica, TV anchorman Mike Bongiorno and actors Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg, all as themselves.
