action
The beautiful Anna, young and widowed, returns from distant America to her home village Canorano in Abruzzo . She was enthusiastically received by the local population after word got around that this time she wanted to marry a compatriot and stay in Canorano. All the bachelors in town dress up to impress Anna. The young blacksmith Raffaello is not one of them. A disappointed love made him suspicious and grumpy, and Anna of all people has her eye on him. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he still enjoys her presence.
The married villagers eyed each other suspiciously while courting the young widow's favor. Rumors are started to make Anna bad for others. The only one who knows the truth is Don Luigi, the pastor. The secret of confession, however, commands him to remain silent.
After a violent fight by the young villagers, Anna decides to return to Brooklyn . The whole village comes together again in the market square to say goodbye to Anna. Even Zittozitto, who lost his speech in a bombing raid during the war, laboriously stammered a few words. Anna is so touched by this that she gives him a hearty kiss. But because this has never happened to Zittozitto in his previous life, he regains his language. He runs through the streets screaming with joy. When he passed Raffaello's house, he called out to the village blacksmith that he would be a fool if he let Anna go. At that moment Raffaello realizes how much he is in love with Anna. Immediately he hurries to the market square and is amazed when many mothers tell Anna that their children are kissing them. After all, a miracle is not enough! Raffaello quickly takes the hand of the "American" and that of the village pastor. Impatiently he urges them both to the church. The people are happy that the “Anna of Brooklyn” will soon become “Anna of Canorano”.
background

criticism
"The hearty Dorfulk is brought up as a dialogue comedy that only gives the stars, not the camera, the opportunity to make an impression," said the lexicon of international film .
