| Summary: | "Anna Magnani plays Camilla, the leading star of a commedia dell'arte troupe touring colonial Peru in the early 18th century. The actors arrive on the same boat transporting the new golden coach of the Viceroy. Camilla has to dally with her three suitors: Felipe, a young officer; the suave Viceroy; and Ramon, a bullfighter. Each man desires Camilla for different purposes. Ramon sees her as a romantic companion in the public eye; for the Viceroy she is a temporary balm for the rigors of public duty; Felipe loves her for what he believes is her real self. Romantic jealousy and local politics enter into the roundelay. Camilla must break from her lovers and the reality of the Peruvian town to the retreat of her self-sustaining art"--Kino International Web site. |
