Synopsis

Italian neo-realist master Vittorio De Sica lost out to David O. Selznick for control of his drama, Terminal Station, about the ill-fated romance between an American woman (Jennifer Jones) and her Italian lover (Montgomery Clift). Selznick (Jones' husband at the time) cut footage, brought in Truman Capote to juice up Cesare Zavattini''s story, and later renamed the film, Indiscretion of an American Wife, for its American release. What remain s is a compromised, yet compelling, work that retains much of De Sica''s distinctive touch, resulting in a film halfway between Italian neo-realism an d Hollywood melodrama. This Criterion Collection edition presents Indiscretion of an American Wife (72 mins.) together with De Sica''s original cut of Terminal Station (89 mins.) for the first time. Vittorio De Sica---Italy/USA---1954---161 mins.
