Una donna ha ucciso

The movie is a long flashback:in the train ,it seems that a desperate woman is about to commit suicide;to comfort her,and to dissuade her from doing so,a woman begins to tell her the story of one of her friends (or maybe it's her own story).

This is the classic story of an Italian romantic girl who falls for an American buck just after WW2.She thinks she will live her love forever but forever always ends.Besides,the officer is not romantic at all (he learns to be with one of his pals and he just pretends) ,selfish and it won't be long till he finds another squeeze .

The best moment is when the boor is on the phone,despising the girl and putting her down while she's behind him and hearing it all .When he notices her presence ,he does not even bother to stop his odious verbiage ."I am cynical" he said to the person he was calling.

This is a rather stodgy melodrama ,often boring ,with OK performances .Besides ,all the Americans speak Italian,even between them,they even write their notes in this language ;not a single English word in the whole movie!the only sentence which is not in Italian is in French!
