The Career of a Chambermaid (1976)

1976 · 111 min · Comedy, Romance, Drama

This slight skewering of the mindset of the Fascist era when Italy’s “White Telephone” films (conservative minded sophisticated comedy-dramas revolving around the bourgeoisie) were in vogue gives Agostina Belli her best role – an ambitious Venetian girl that goes from chambermaid to prostitute to singer to film-star to mistress of ‘Il Duce’! – for which she received a special David Di Donatello award, the Italian equivalent of the Oscar.

Directed by Dino Risi. Starring Agostina Belli, Cochi Ponzoni, Maurizio Arena, William Berger and Lino Toffolo.
