What happens

L'angelo bianco (internationally released as The White Angel) is a 1955 Italian melodrama film directed by Raffaello Matarazzo. It is the sequel to Nobody's Children (1951). According to the author Louis Bayman, this couple of films "sealed director Raffaello Matarazzo's reputation as king of the Italian melodramatists". The film's sets were designed by the art director Ottavio Scotti. The screenplay was written by Aldo De Benedetti, and the story was written by Giovanna Soria and Piero Pierotti.
