The Walls of Malapaga feels like a fairly standard post-war tragic romance in the vein of the great De Sica movies from this period. Jean Gabin does his gruff lovable-yet-unlovable thing. Isa Miranda is lovely in this, and Louis Page photographs the war-ravaged city of Genoa with heartbreaking care (it's a sound stage, actually, but I believed it).
Also, I had been looking for a copy of this with English subtitles for years and was happy to have finally found one, so I watched it as soon as I found it. You can't find it on YouTube but it's over at Dailymotion:
