Anna Magnani as Gioia.
 Quite the head of hair on her.

Somehow Topbilled, all I'm thinking about is that game Anna Magnani was playing with everyone asking if they wanted to go to bed with her - I need to get past that!!! LOL

She might need to "wash up," Gino! You know! Powder her nose, fix her hair, see a man about a dog! Think a little.

With her pronounced circles under the eyes, I was wondering how old Anna Magnani was when this was shot: she was pushing fifty. Magnani suffered from sleep apnea and in an interview, she said she never slept through the night. I was thinking allergies, TopBilled.

Poor thing. That's just what I would do, feel overwhelmed, run out, seek comfort from the dog.

LOL OK, christine, you opened this up: Her bags notwithstanding, there is a voluptuousness to her. I'm expecting a scold from Fading Fast for revealing too much...

Edith Head on costumes - OK It's interesting that the story for this film came from Vittorio Nino Novarese, who was not only a writer but also a costume designer. He didn't serve as designer for any films in 1957, but Head did our film and several others; she was nominated for the Oscar for Funny Face.
In 1964, Novarese won the Oscar for the costumes for Cleopatra. Head was nominated in both the color (A New Kind of Love) and black and white (Wives and Lovers) categories that year but didn't make it to the top of the heap.

I love this sweet scene between Gioia and Angela.
So Gioia is actually Angela's aunt and now stepmother.
