Terminal Station (1952)
Director: Vittorio De Sica
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
De Sica started out wanting to film a small scale love story, but the casting of Jennifer Jones brought with it the attentions of her producer husband David Selznick. He insisted on shooting in Rome's grand new central railway station and drafted in Truman Capote to polish up Zavattini's screenplay about an ill-fated romance between a visiting American and an Italian with an American mother (Clift, who gives a tender performance). In the end, though, Selznick reckoned the finished picture too arty and cut it to 72 minutes for US distribution (as Indiscretion of an American Wife).Author: TJ
