Background
"Alessandrini repeated the success of his first film, directing Rossano, with Isa Pola and Filippo
Scelzo in "Il ponte di vetro/The Bridge of Glass", even if it was interrupted, in the first phase of production, by a
falling reflector that fell on the head of the young actor, forcing him into the hospital for a week."
Rossano Brazzi: Complete Actor, by Pietro Osso, 1942
