.
A married American woman, Mary Forbes (Jennifer Jones) visits her sister in Rome and falls in love with an Italian, Giovanni Doria (Montgomery Clift). Without seeing it, we know it was a passionate affair, but Mary knows she must end it for the sake of her young daughter back home.
She tries to write a letter to Giovanni but it’s impossible for her to do so she heads to the train station where he finds her. Giovanni tries to persuade her to stay with him and it’s a deep emotional struggle for Mary.
The majority of the film takes place at the train station with lots of swooning, swelling violin music, and many huge crescendos.
Young Richard Beymer plays Mary’s teenage nephew who comes to the station to see her off.
Script by Truman Capote and Ben Hecht. Directed by Vittorio De Sica.
Black and White
Run time: 1 hour, 16 minutes
Not rated by MPAA.
My personal rating: B-
