 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Sign of Venus is a 1955 comedy from Italy, directed by Dino Risi.It focuses on two young cousins in Rome, looking for love. Agnese (Sophia Loren, already a big star in Italy but still a couple of years away from breaking out internationally) is a jaw-dropping beauty, indeed perhaps too beautiful, as men swarm around her like bees to honey. She complains that no one respects her as a person. Her cousin Cesira (Franca Valeri, who co-wrote the screenplay), isn't all that sympathetic. Cesira is lonely and would like to find a man, but despite being pleasantly pretty she can't get any male attention while in the company of her sexy cousin. She goes to a fortune teller, who reads the tarot cards and says that Cesira is entering the "period of Venus", a time when she has a good chance of finding true love.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Vittorio De Sica didn't direct this one, but appears onscreen as Alessio, a charming but stone-broke poet who takes Cesira out on a disastrous date.

comment
 Did Not Get the Girl: Did Not Get The Guy, for unlucky-in-love Cesira. She loses out on Ignazio to her sex bomb of a cousin, Agnese. Depressed from that turn of events, she agrees to meet Romolo for coffee, but he's immediately arrested for stealing the car he's been trying to sell the whole movie. For a brief moment near the end it seems like she might wind up with Alessio, until he too dumps her, for the glamorous Fortune Teller. The movie ends with a depressed Cesira getting on the tram and heading to work.

 Comforting Comforter: Cesira tucks Alessio in when he lies down on his bed, in a moment that's quite sad, since he's obviously a con artist taking advantage of her gullibility.

 Conspicuous Trenchcoat: Romolo is introduced looking as suspicious as possible, with a conspicuous trenchcoat and dark sunglasses. He sneaks into the department store to avoid arrest by the police for stealing a car.
