An American spinster in Venice.
Sinekatalog’s take
David Lean's romance sends Katharine Hepburn's lonely American tourist to Venice. Gorgeously photographed and lightly sad, it makes the city a character and Hepburn's performance is delicate and touching.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
