La porta del cielo fu il film che permise a De Sica di rimanere a Roma anziché recarsi a Venezia per girare film di propaganda che avrebbero dovuto rinvigorire il regime fascista di Salò. Questo film, che aveva tra gli interpreti María Mercader e Zavattini alla sceneggiatura, è il racconto dei fedeli che prendono il treno bianco per raggiungere il Santuario di Loreto, dove sperano di ricevere un miracolo.
