INTRIGUE

During the Second World War, an American officer administers a small, liberated Italian town.

CRITICAL RECEPTION

Well-received film, considered a humanist drama. Gene brings warmth and luminosity.

THE ROLE OF GENE

Tina Tomasino, charming village girl. Shot on Italian sets recreated in Hollywood. Gene, pregnant for part of the shoot, had to hide her figure under baggy costumes.
