From the start of the Ingrid Bergman-Roberto Rossellini affair, patient, friendly Mike Chinigo (pronounced Kinigo), an Albanian-born U.S. citizen, had cultivated the confidence of the excitable Italian film director. He was helped by the fact that he speaks fluent Italian, picked up at home, polished (after Yale) at the University of Rome, and perfected as a war correspondent in Sicily and Italy. Chinigo got Rossellini to cast him as the concentration camp boss in Stromboli, quietly picked up stray quotes from Ingrid during breaks in the shooting. His stories were invariably sympathetic. Last week Chinigo's friendship...

At Juarez, at last, Attorneys Javier Alvarez and Arturo Gomez-Trevino rose from the huddle, stood before Judge Raul Orozco. "Do you," the judge asked Alvarez, "as the representative of Roberto Rossellini, know if it is his will to take Ingrid Bergman...

But her hopes for a marriage in Rome had been dashed by law. Italy would not authorize a wedding unless Sweden certified that Swedish Subject Bergman was free to marry. And since the Swedish courts do not recognize Mexican divorces and have not yet acted on Ingrid's application for a divorce in Sweden, she was still the wife of Dr. Lindstrom.
