The Roman Spring Of Mrs. Stone

Based on legendary playwright Tennessee Williams' first fictional story, this drama set in post-WWII Italy follows the amorous adventures of Karen Stone, a middle-aged Broadway star who retreats to the eternal city of Rome in the wake of scathing reviews for her latest play. After she is suddenly widowed, Karen embarks on a torrid affair with the young Count Paolo, a gigolo for a cunning business woman targeting the rich American's pocketbook.
