Malaspina (film)

Malaspina is a 1947 Italian melodrama film directed by Armando Fizzarotti and starring Vera Rol, Aldo Bufi Landi and Rino Genovese.

Its story of female wrongdoing and ultimate redemption was characteristic of Neapolitan-style cinema.

A young woman promises to be faithful to her lover when he goes off to fight in the Second World War.

The film revived the Naples film-industry, which had largely disappeared during the Fascist era when Italian filmmaking was concentrated in Rome.

The film was released in the United States, where it proved popular with Italian-American audiences.
