Plot Summary

Three American women, rooming together while working abroad in Rome, Italy hope for romance and marriage. Frances, oldest of the three, has been 15 years a secretary to novelist John Frederick Shadwell, whom she loves but whose reclusive nature prompts most people to believe that he's long dead. Anita, one week away from returning to America under the claim of getting married, finally bucks company rules (and gets caught) by finally accepting an invitation from an Italian co-worker to visit his family's farm for his sister's wedding. Newly-arrived Maria soon sets her generally-innocent eyes on Dino di Cessi, an actual prince with a reputation for womanizing, and makes a play for him by making herself his perfect match.

Trivia The first motion picture filmed in CinemaScope outside of the United States. Prior to beginning principal shooting, 20th Century-Fox studio execs warned producer Sol C. Siegel and director Jean Negulesco that they would have a difficult time with the new film format away from the controlled settings of the studio. Siegel and Negulesco solved this dilemma by simply taking the studio's entire technical crew along to Rome. See more »
Goofs At the beginning of the final scene at the Trevi fountain, the fountain is dry and being cleaned. While the characters are there, the fountain begins to flow; when they leave, the fountain is completely full--not a possibility given the size of the fountain and the period of time over which the scene occurs.

Quotes Woman at Cocktail Party: My husband declares that I was simply born to be a writer. He says if anyone just took a pencil and followed me around, they'd have a novel.
John Frederick Shadwell: My dear lady, I should be delighted to get behind you with a pencil.
