About the Film

The legendary Italian directors third film was conceived when he was looking for a child artist in Rome. The film is a satire on the film industry itself where a working class mother in Rome, Maddalena (Anna Magnani in a memorable role), who takes her young daughter (Tina Apicella) to Cinecittà for a contest. Though Visconti was very much part of the neo-realistic cinema movement, here, he combines it with humor.
