Not so famous


The Famous Actress Cicala Formica (1920)

Directed by Lucio D'Ambra this film stars Lia Formia, Umberto Zanuccoli and Riccardo Bertacchini. A rich young woman dreams of being a film actress but various obstacles stand in her way.

To start out with the film spends far too long introducing a huge cast of characters, some of which barely feature in the film. When the plot itself gets going it is fairly average. There is the odd chuckle here and there but for an early film I found this one rather unremarkable.

2/5
