Is there a chariot?\u201d Alberto Sordi, as Alberto Boccetti, a Roman newsstand owner, or rather Count Max, races down in a sleigh from the Hotel Miramonti to the Cortina station. He\u2019s rushing to catch the first train along the Ferrovia delle Dolomiti railway (closed in 1964 and turned into the pedestrian and cycling path where we stand today). The film is <em>Count Max<\/em> (1957), directed by Giorgio Bianchi, starring Vittorio De Sica. After the 1956 Winter Olympics, Cortina became ingrained in Italian cinema through a recurring storyline. It\u2019s the tale of the broke man pretending to be rich and noble; or of the bored old money crowd as in <em>Winter Holidays<\/em> (1959) by C. Mastrocinque; or the nouveau riche determined to buy his way into the spotlight. Cortina became a mirror of the Italian society of the time. The Commedia all&#8217;italiana, poking fun at the contradictions of the economic boom, was refreshed two decades later by the Vanzina brothers Carlo and Enrico. Frequent visitors to the Dolomites, they created, starting in 1983, the <em>Vacanze di Natale<\/em> series: a portrait of the Roman, Venetian, Milanese, Bolognese, Neapolitan bourgeoisie, with lines that became cult classics (from \u201cVia della Spiga \u2013 Hotel Cristallo in Cortina: 2 hours 54 minutes 27 seconds&#8230; Alboreto is nothing\u201d to \u201cSun, whisky, and you\u2019re in pole position\u201d). Many of its characters are still popular today, such as Billo (Jerry Cal\u00e0) and the bisexual scion Covelli (Christian De Sica). It\u2019s not just a matter of holiday comedies. From silent films\u2014<em>The Giant of the Dolomites<\/em> (1927) by G. Brignone\u2014to<em> Pian delle stelle<\/em> (1946) by G. Ferroni. From <em>Letto a tre piazze<\/em> (1960) by Steno to <em>Listen<\/em>, <em>Let&#8217;s Make Love<\/em> by V. Caprioli (1968), as well as <em>A Place for Lovers<\/em> (1968) by De Sica, starring Mastroianni and Faye Dunaway, and<em> The Secret of the Old Woods<\/em> (1993) by E. Olmi, where Paolo Villaggio plays Colonel Procolo from Dino Buzzati\u2019s novel. And again, Villaggio\u2019s cynical humor in <em>Fantozzi in Paradiso<\/em> (1994) by N.
