Several changes from the 1942 version: Instead of being killed at night on horseback, Rocco is assassinated in broad daylight as he sings to his new bride and leads the horse drawn carriage through the country side.
Instead of being tormented by the sound of horses' hooves, the guilty Marquis thinks he hears the sound of the dead man singing outside his villa.
Instead of dying in prison, the innocent man is here shown escaping and later being trapped by police at night and killed in the crossfire.
Unlike in the first version there are no little children from the innocent man's family brought into the household of the Marquis.
Marisa Belli's debut.
