"Yönetmen Luchino Visconti ne zaman çocuk rolleri için seçim yapmaya kalksa, çocukları için "Güzel!" çığlıkları atarak onun dikkatini çekmeye çalışan anneler tarafından kuşatıldığından yakınır.

"Maddalena Cecconi, moglie d'un capomastro, ha un'unica figlia, Maria, una bimba di otto anni, che adora. Maria non è bella ma agli occhi della madre è bellissima e Maddalena vorrebbe per lei uno splendido avvenire. Quando la Stella Film bandisce a Cinecittà un concorso tra le bimbe di Roma per l'interpretazione di un nuovo film, Maddalena decide di far partecipare al concorso la sua Maria e sacrifica tempo e denaro per prepararla degnamente. A Cinecittà, mentre cerca affannosamente Maria che si è smarrita nel labirinto delle costruzioni e degli uffici, s'imbatte in un tale Annovazzi, un aiutante del regista, che in cambio del suo aiuto, riesce a cavarle le ultime cinquantamila lire. Finalmente arriva il momento del provino, ma quando nella sala viene proiettata l'immagine della piccola Maria, il regista e gli aiutanti, nel vederla così imbarazzata e goffa, scoppiano in una risata. Maddalena che vede tutto dalla cabina dell'operatore, arde di sdegno e, dopo aver fatto una violenta scenata, si porta via la bambina. Invano il regista, che ha scoperto nella bimba doti espressive non comuni, le sottopone un vantaggioso contratto. Le illusioni sono ormai cadute e Maddalena fa cacciare l'intruso. Terrà la sua bambina per sé e per suo marito."@it
