A textbook example of melodrama, which unfortunately goes a bit over the limit towards the end and falls into corny and tear-jerking, but perhaps that is a view "in 2015" and the appreciation was completely different 60 years ago. The theme of the relationship between a noble and an ordinary woman with dramatic consequences is in line with the neorealist filmmaking of Italy in the 1950s and in reality is certainly not an exceptional phenomenon, which may explain the success of the film at the time.

Because of the good story style for most of the film, a good rating

Difficult film to rate. On the one hand, very sentimental. Just when you think you've seen it, the ending takes it even further. There are perhaps just too many dramatic twists in the plot that make you wonder how naive you have to be to continue to accept all those intrigues. There are also some holes in the story.

The film pretends that it is a happy family with the countess or later with his wife, but in reality you cannot get away with that. The same applies to that foreman who takes advantage of the situation for years on end.

And yet I found it fascinating to follow. The pace is good and you sympathize with some of the characters without the latter showing much depth. Nice environment with the white limestone of the very famous Carrara.
