Submitted to the British Board of Film Censors as Angelina by UK distributor Film Traders and passed with an "A" certificate on 25 January 1949, but only after cuts. The London Gala Premiere at the Academy, Oxford Street, was on 23 March 1949 at 8:15 pm and was attended in person by Anna Magnani and Luigi Zampa, in England to promote the film. Angelina enjoyed a ten week run at the Academy, after which it toured foreign film specialist cinemas in the UK, including Derby's tiny Cameo from 12 February 1950 which marked the cinema's changeover to international films.
