Bellísima (1952)
En los estudios de Cinecittà, el director Alessandro Blasetti está haciendo un casting para seleccionar a la niña que actuará en su nueva película. Entre las madres que han llevado a sus hijas está Maddalena Cecconi, una mujer de barrio que sueña con ver a su hija en el Olimpo de las grandes estrellas. Contra la voluntad de su marido, Maddalena no repara en medios para conseguir su objetivo: inscribe a María en un curso de baile y actuación, le paga fotógrafo y peluquera, le encarga vestidos a medida. En su obsesión, confía incautamente en Alberto Annovazzi, un especulador sin escrúpulos que dice tener los contactos necesarios para que María realice la prueba.
