Vittorio De Sica's (Bicycle Thieves) award-winning masterpiece Miracle in Milan is one of the watershed films of the Italian cinema renaissance. Once upon a time an old woman discovered a young child in her cabbage patch. She cared for him until her death at which time the boy was placed into an orphanage.

Ivan Cavalli (Leopoldo Trieste) brings his new wife Wanda (Brunella Bovo) to Rome on the least romantic honeymoon in history - a rigid schedule of family meetings and audiences with the Pope.

Fellini's first solo directorial effort also features such long-time collaborators as his wife the actress Giulietta Masina and composer Nina Rota.
