Magnani has a small but spirited part as a maid in thisdelightful comedy of errors. Vittorio De Sica is a dreamy, repressedyoung professor who is awakened to life by a woman, Dora (Milly), wholiterally lands in his life-via parachute. His attempts to pursue themanly arts in order to win Dora's love are comically unsuccessful.Moreover, the film features "songs by Vittorio De Sica."Lovely shots of northern Italy and a breakneck chase through thebustling streets of Milan complete the picture, which was directed by awell known comedy director who also produced some of the best theatricalrevues of the day. "At last a fast-moving, merry, romantic comedyhas reached here from Rome," chirped the New York Times. "Itis filled with action...and slapstick humor."
