Indiscretion of an American Wife (1953)

Yet another of David O. Selzneck’s love letters to Jennifer Jones. In this incarnation Jones is an American housewife who cheats on her husband with Montgomery Clift while visiting her sister in Rome. The entire film is set in a train station. Almost jarringly brief at a 63 minute running time. It is interesting to note, given the subject of the movie, that Jones was Selzneck’s mistress before she became his wife. Neat for ‘Twin Peaks’ fans to Richard Beymer at roughly twelve years of age.
