Paramount's 1930 domestic drama Sarah and Son was also filmed in a number of foreign language versions. The Italian version, Richimao del Cuore, stars Carmen Boni and Carlo Lombardi in the roles originated by Ruth Chatterton and Fredric March. Forced to give up her baby for adoption, actress Suzanne Sandi (Boni) returns home 10 years later to make a bid for custody of the child. The foster parents hire attorney Vanning (Lombardi) to protect their interests in court. But Suzanne pleads her case so eloquently that she wins not only her child but also the love of Vanning. Intended for exhibition in Italy alone, Richimao del Cuore proved quite successful when it was briefly shown in New York.
