An Italian film with English sub-titles starring Anna Magnani, Walter Chiari
An ambitious mother has to sacrifice everything to make her seven-year-old daughter a film star.
This was one of Visconti's first films to be shown commercially in Britain. BBC-tv viewers have seen a number of his later works, most recently Senso, and Rocco and his Brothers. The film, however, is basically a vehicle for Anna Magnani who is in her element as the vociferous, energetic, working-class housewife whose passions are aroused by ambition and injustice.
