Plot: It's a story similar to Victor Hugo's The Miserables. Franco Interlenghi, from "I Vitelloni" (1953), Federico Fellini's masterpiece, it's here Knight Roger de Vaudrey, in love with one of the two orphans. Andrea Checchi, another Italian actor seen in many italian movies, is Captain Marrest. The two orphans are successfully performed by the Frenchwoman Myriam Bru and the Italian Milly Vitale. I first saw it when I was little, in the 60's. I remember that I liked it very, very much, I remember I cried then, I was very emotional as a child, I cried watching a few movies. As an adult, I haven't cried for a long long time. Watched again in March 2021, still valid.
