When she was only a child, Beatrice (Dria Paola) witnessed the brutal murder of his mother and lost her sight from the shock. For this crime, an innocent man was convicted and executed. Ten years later, his son Oliviero (Mario Steni), who in the meantime has become a famous doctor, agrees to perform an operation on Beatrice which could restore her vision. Beatrice now lives in a beautiful country villa with her father (Giulio Tempesti), who encourages the doctor to perform the operation. Oliviero soon falls in love with Beatrice, but at the same time the real murderer comes to the estate masquerading as a doctor, fearing that if she'll receive back her sight, she will be able to recognize him as the killer.
Set in 1844, "The Blind Woman Of Sorrento" is based on the famous novel of the same title written by Francsco Mastriani (1852). Directed by Nunzio Malasomma, this is one of those forgotten gems of Italian cinema, featuring the film debut of classic Italian icon Anna Magnani.
