Description

No one except Professor Ball seems to know very much about this Italian film, which Peter Morris categorizes as "lost." It was screened courtesy of the US distributor (Jack Hoffberg) by Professor Ball in New York City on Sept. 8, 1948. The credits given here are taken from the notes in the Ball Collection at the Folger Library
