Tormento

Directed by Raffaello Matarazzo

With Amedeo Nazzari, Yvonne Sanson, Annibale Betrone, Mario Ferrari and Teresa Franchini

Anna flees her home, where she has been victimized for years by her spineless father’s mean-spirited second wife, to be with her lover, an honest businessman yet to make his fortune. When he is accused of a murder he didn’t commit, the couple’s domestic tranquillity is upended, and a desperate Anna must rely on her cruel stepmother to help support their child.
