Ho Sognato il Paradiso is adapted from a play by Guido Cantini. Geraldine Brooks, an American actress who was living and working in Italy in 1950, stars as a "fallen woman" who'd like to get back up again. Her one opportunity to escape her tawdry lifestyle arrives in the form of a handsome young attorney, played by Vittorio Gassman. Hiding her past from the attorney, the girl enjoys a few blissful months. But when he discovers that she's been a purveyor of the World's Oldest Profession, the results are calamitous. Despite the name value of Geraldine Brooks, Ho Sognato il Paradiso ran into serious censorship problems when it was distributed in the U.S. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
