Golden Madonna is a 1949 Italian/British drama film directed by Luigi Carpentieri[1][2] and Ladislao Vajda and starring Phyllis Calvert, Tullio Carminati and Michael Rennie.[3] It was considered a lost film and was on the BFI 75 Most Wanted list, until a copy was loaned to the British Film Institute by Cohen Media.[4][5] Filmed on location, a group of original negatives and contact prints[6] taken by Francis Goodman are in the possession of London's National Portrait Gallery.

Plot

A young British woman who owns a villa in Italy offends the village she lives in by throwing away a sacred painting that they consider lucky and protector of the community. To redeem herself she goes out in search to try to recover it.
