The Lady Without Camelias (Italian: La signora senza camelie) is a 1953 French–Italian drama film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Lucia Bosé, Gino Cervi, and Andrea Checchi.

When test screenings reveal that the public is enamoured with Clara, but less enthusiastic about the film itself, producer Ercole uses her presence in her second feature, which is still in production, by emphasising its scenes of passion.

Antonioni had based his scenario for The Lady Without Camelias on stories of discovered actresses like Gina Lollobrigida, who refused to star in his film, as did Sophia Loren.

[1] For Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Lady Without Camelias, while not a masterpiece, "impresses through its annexation of an all-too-familiar theme to the personal and singular style of its director", making it possibly "Antonioni's most unjustly neglected fiction feature".

[2] In his 1981 review for The New York Times, Vincent Canby titled The Lady Without Camelias a "cool, almost frosty soap opera" and a preface to his later work.
