Today’s scene that I love comes from Rome, Open City:

Filmed in 1945, Roberto Rossellini’s Rome, Open City was one of the first films to be made about life under the Nazis.  What set this film apart from others is that the majority of the cast actually had lived under the occupation.  While there were a few professional amongst the cast, Rossellini also used many nonprofessional actors, who brought a weary authenticity to their roles and their portrayal of life in occupied Rome.
