Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Anna Zaccheo (Silvana Pampanini) is desperate for true love. Alas, Anna is so gorgeous that true love is the last thing most men have on their minds. She manages to get by with the help of several wealthy male friends, until finally she meets the man of her dreams -- a poverty-stricken sailor (Massimo Girotti). Their relationship goes along swimmingly (literally, at one point), until the sailor learns about Anna's checkered past. Just when it looks like a happy ending is on the horizon, a miracle (the sort that happens in movies) comes to pass. Un Marito per Anna Zaccheo is a rare exercise in pure romanticism from Bitter Rice director Giuseppe DeSantis.
