Papà

An unknown Pina Menichelli, a young and lively beauty, is the object of desire for two stars of the Italian scene: Ruggero Ruggeri and Amleto Novelli. This breezy story, based on a comedy that had not been released in Italy at that time, centers on Ruggeri, who plays the role of a playboy father seeking to reintegrate his previously neglected son into family life. Novelli, somewhat out of his element in a role that would have suited him better ten years younger, portrays the good-hearted rustic son. Menichelli, adorned with flowers, cycles through the countryside, caught between not only two men but also two contrasting lifestyles. In this role, she displays a naturalness that surprises those familiar with her more decadent performances. Occasionally, a darker glimpse reveals the character of the actress, which would later become more prominent in the public's imagination.
