Bello Honest Emigrant Australia Would Marry Compaesana Illibata -

 

Director: Luigi Zampa

Writers: Rodolfo Sonego

Stars: Alberto Sordi, Claudia Cardinale, Riccardo Garrone

(1971)

 

A worker who emigrated to Australia searches for a mail-order wife using a friend's photo. A former prostitute who wants to change her life contacts him, without revealing herself. Their mutual lies create a series of hilarious and bitter misunderstandings.

 

Amedeo is a poor Italian immigrant living in Australia for twenty years. Seeking to marry an Italian wife, he corresponds with Carmela, a pretty girl from Rome. They do not reveal their true identities and do not mention their hardships in their letters. Carmela is actually a prostitute seeking an opportunity to change her life style. Amedeo, embarrassed about his looks, sends a photograph to Carmela of his handsome friend Giuseppe.
