Catherine
and Alexander Joyce drive to Naples to arrange the sale of a home belonging to a
recently deceased uncle. They have
decided to travel by car instead of taking a flight and are wondering if this
was the wrong decision. They are
not used to being together this much in close quarters and discover they don’t
know each other as well as they thought.
He’s sarcastic which causes her to react with criticism. She thinks of a young man she knew who
died and realizes she doesn’t have romance in her life. He goes alone to Capri and flirts with the women he meets
there.
This
film is the last film of three films made by Rossellini with Bergman. Also, the
end of their working relationship and their marriage. I knew early on how this film would conclude but not how it
would finally get to this destination.
In black and white with many scenes of tourist areas in the region. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
97
min, Drama directed by Roberto Rossellini with Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders,
Maria Mauban, Anna Proclemer, Paul Muller, Anthony La Penna, Natalia
Ray.
Note: Imdb 7.6 out of 10, 95% critic 75%
audience on Rotten Tomatoes
Special
Note: I wonder how much of the disintegration
of their marriage was portrayed in
this film?
