Synopsis
A collaboration between producer David O. Selznick and Italian director Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief) could only end up an interesting movie. And thats just what happened with Indiscretion Of An American Wife (1954).
Jennifer Jones, married to Selznick at the time, is the American wife on holiday in Rome; Montgomery Clift is her Italian lover. She bids him farewell at the train station, he begs her to stay. That forms the basis of a very well-acted character study.
While the plots simplicity itself, production was not. A trainload of writers toiled on the script, some with no credit: Truman Capote, Carson McCullers, Paul Gallico and Alberto Moravia, among others. De Sica spoke no English. Selznick hated the original title, Terminal Station, and had it changed. And its rumored that he didnt return. Its a wonder the movie was finished at all. And it is quite a testament to Jones and Clift that they give such strong performances.
Stars and subject matter produced a money-maker. And
