This Angry Age (also known as The Sea Wall, Barrage contre le Pacifique, and La diga sul Pacifico) is a 1957 Italian-American drama film directed by René Clément, produced by Dino De Laurentiis, and starring Anthony Perkins and Silvana Mangano.

Twenty-year-old Joseph (Perkins) and his sixteen-year-old sister Suzanne (Mangano) live in the merciless conditions of an intemperate foreign land with their widowed mother (Van Fleet).

Suzanne becomes involved with Michael (Conte) and Joseph finds a love interest in Claude (Valli).

[1] The New York Times described Clément as "a specialist in that sort of tragedy that evolves from the inability of deeply pained people to face their own feelings."

The reviewer also praised the "great pictorial beauty and admirable psychological truth" of Clément's film.
