Directed by the incredibly prolific Mario Camerini, Suor Letizia was released in English-speaking regions as When Angels Don't Fly and The Awakening. In her first film appearance since The Rose Tattoo, Anna Magnani plays a feisty nun named Sister Letizia. Believing herself above such earthly trivialities as a maternal instinct, Sr. Letizia changes her way of thinking when an abandoned child is placed in her care. Unofficially adopting the boy, the good sister eventually comes to realize that even she cannot provide the care and guidance of a biological mother. Carefully constructed to accommodate all the surefire box-office elements inherent in Camerini's earlier films, Suor Letizia was almost guaranteed to be a hit.

Vittorio De Sica (billed simply as "De Sica") is the virile young hero of Grandi Magazzini. The title translates as "Department Store," which is where the first half of the story transpires. In a fit of jealousy, store clerk Assia Norris walks out on her boyfriend and heads for a vacation in the Alps, but not before "borrowing" a high-priced ski wardrobe. Once on the slopes, Norris falls in love with truck-driver DeSica, who convinces himself that this extremely well-dressed young lady is a woman of great wealth. Upon discovering that Norris is a fraud, DeSica is crestfallen, but Love Conquers All before the final reel.
