Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Typical Tennessee Williams seediness (it's an adaptation of his first novel), with Vivien Leigh doing her faded beauty bit as a widowed actress lolling around in Rome and trying to find final romance with gigolo Beatty. Florid and sordid simultaneously, and forever verging on the nonsensical, but saved by a charismatic performance from Lotte Lenya as a bitchy procuress.Author: GA
