Description
----------------
It's the story of a shopclerk named Clara who finds a chance casting in a small movie role develop into a full-blown career as screen-siren. Tension erupts when her husband can no longer tolerate watching her frivolous cinema escapades, and pushes her into a 'serious, artistic' production of the life of Joan of Arc... whereupon she is castigated by the critical establishment.

A riveting 'behind-the-scenes' show-business drama, La signora senza camelie explores themes that would haunt its director from L'avventura through La notte and The Passenger -- an individual's tenuous hold on her identity, and the dangers inherent to performance? in life and on-screen.
