Details.
Wiki.
Love Story (Italian: Una storia d'amore) is a 1942 Italian drama film directed by Mario Camerini and starring Assia Noris, Piero Lulli and Carlo Campanini. It is based on the play Life Begins by Mary McDougal Axelson, previously adapted into a 1932 film of the same title and a 1939 film A Child Is Born. Along with A Pistol Shot it marked an attempt to showcase Noris as a dramatic actress, rather than the White Telephone comedies she had become known for. It was screened at the 1942 Venice Film Festival.
It was produced by Lux Film, one of the leading film companies of Fascist Italy. It was shot at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Gastone Medin and Gino Brosio. The future star Marcello Mastroianni appeared briefly as an uncredited extra.
