The Blind Woman of Sorrento (Italian: La cieca di Sorrento) is a 1953 Italian historical melodrama film directed by Giacomo Gentilomo and starring Antonella Lualdi, Paul Campbell and Enzo Biliotti.[1] It was shot at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome. The film is based on the novel of the same title by Francesco Mastriani and is the third time that it has been filmed. It is set in the nineteenth century in Sorrento in southern Italy.
In the 19th century, Naples was governed by the Bourbons. Doctor Pisani is a patriot who is unjustly accused of having killed a marquise. He does not want to betray the cause and allows himself to be executed. Ten years later, his son Oliviero, who has taken medical courses, restores the truth and wants to marry Béatrice, the Marquise's daughter, who became blind during the assault on her mother's castle by revolutionary patriots. Oliviero, having become an ophthalmologist, heals the girl and marries her.
