The Blind Woman of Sorrento [DVD] [1936]

La Cieca di Sorrento (The Blind Girl of Sorrento) stars Dria Paola as the title character. The story is melodramatic to the nth degree, as a homicidal burglar endeavors to marry the sightless daughter of the man he killed. The burglar is worried that the girl will regain her vision, and he intends to do away with her the moment this happens. Meanwhile, a handsome doctor struggles to cure the girl's blindness, intending to prove that his own father, who was falsely executed for the murder, was innocent. The serial-like screenplay was based on an 1875 novel by Francesco Mastriani.~Hal Erickson
