The Resource Indiscretion of an American wife : & Terminal station

Statement of responsibility: a David O. Selznick presentation ; screenplay by Cesare Zavattini, Luigi Chiarini, Giorgio Prosperi ; produced and directed by Vittorio de Sica ; dialogue by Truman Capote

Summary: An American housewife (Jennifer Jones) vacationing in Italy reluctantly decides to put an end to her brief affair with an Italian academic (Montgomery Clift). She flees to Rome's Stazione Termini, where she bids him farewell, but he begs her to stay. The film's plot is simple; its production was not. The troubled collaboration between director Vittorio De Sica and producer David O. Selznick resulted in two cuts of the same film. De Sica's version, Terminal Station, was screened at a length of one-and-a-half hours, but after disappointing previews, Selznick severely re-edited it and changed the title to Indiscretion of an American Wife without De Sica's permission

Credits note: Photographed by Aldo Graziati ; edited by Eraldo da Roma ; music by Alessandro Cicognini ; conducted by Franco Ferrara
