"Angel in a Taxi"
1959
Directed by Antonio Leonviola

A charming fable with an ingenious premise. A sweet-faced boy named Marietto stars as a clever, mischievous six-year-old in an orphanage who longs for a mother. "Did Jesus choose his own mother?" he asks a nun. She replies in the affirmative--and so Marietto figures that what was good enough for Jesus is good enough for him. Spotting Camilla, a beautiful ballerina, in a magazine, he decides she is to be his parent and runs away to find her. Vittorio De Sica pops up in a trio of small but important disguises: a sympathetic policeman, a harried messenger, and a philosophical taxi driver. Dubbed in English.  89 minutes.
