...became a masterpiece. Shot, cut and canned in 33 days of cost-trimming, brain-fagging labor, it is by all odds the best picture made by Italy's Roberto Rossellini since Open City (1945) and Paisan (1946). It restores Rossellini, after eleven years of private enterprise (Ingrid Bergman, Sonali das Gupta) and artistic calamity (Stromboli, A Trip to Italy, Europe '51), to his rightful but qualified eminence as a cinema natural who shoots movies the way other men shoot dice-when he's cold he just craps out. but when he's hot he can make...

But with money and time running out, Rossellini, whose reputation had been sliding downhill even before he ditched Ingrid Bergman for India's sloe-eyed Sonali Das Gupta, was forced to gamble on an unfinished draft.

After ten months of career-dictated separation from her husband, Actress Ingrid Bergman, starring in Tea and Sympathy in Paris, sped to Orly Airport and into the arms of Director Roberto Rossellini, returning from India, where he made some documentary films and some undocumented headlines with exotic Script Girl Sonali Das Gupta.

Told that the Indian government had granted a passport to his scriptwriter and fast friend, Sonali Das Gupta, he said he planned to stay on in India for the present. In Paris, apparently unmoved by the news, his wife Ingrid Bergman had a happy, tearful reunion with pretty, 18-year-old Jennie Ann, her daughter by Dr. Peter Lindstrom. Ingrid showed the wide-eyed girl the Lido, the Louvre and Versailles, lost her temper...
...three-month extension of his visa to stay in India, busied himself again by day shooting documentary films in the sweltering humidity of Bombay. As proof of his good intentions, Rossellini abandoned his suite in the Taj Mahal Hotel that connected with the suite of exotic Sonali Das Gupta, 27, wife of an Indian movie director. He moved down the hall a piece to Room 561, a cubbyhole without air conditioning. Sonali, whose husband is now reported determined to divorce her, was dead set on leaving India and realizing her long-squelched (by hubby) ambition to become a big-name...
