I just watched Il Grido after many years and surprisingly I regret to say that this is a completely awful movie, especially if you get to realize how fake the Italian dubbing sounds. I have no idea what kind of language they were speaking while filming, but the final result sounds like a silent movie with an added soundtrack. Steve Cochran was an outstanding actor always delivering unforgettable performances. (Try and see Come Next Spring, Tomorrow Is Another Day, Highway 301 or Don Siegel's Private Hell if you need any proof). Unfortunately his actual voice (and acting) is lost here. Well, maybe for non-Italian and non-Cochran audiences, this might become an interesting item. Cesare Petrillo
