Released in 1938, La contessa di Parma is a comédie film directed by Alessandro Blasetti, running about 86 minutes.

What it’s about. La Contessa di Parma was the sole directorial contribution by Allesandro Blasetti in 1937. The first of several expensive costume dramas upon which the director established his international reputation, the film stars Elisa Cegani as Marcella, a model in the dress shop owned by enterprising Umberto Melnati. To improve his business, the owner instructs his models to dress up as society ladies and attend all the best parties. And that's how humble little Marcella comes to be mistaken for the popular Duchess of Parma -- and by extension, how our heroine wins the love of football hero Gino Vanni (Antonio Centa). A little wanting in the way of plot or logic, La Constessa di Parma is at least consistently good to look at.

Who’s in it. La contessa di Parma stars Elisa Cegani as Marcella, Antonio Centa as Gino Vanni and Umberto Melnati as Carrani.
