I had a hard time watching this. Katherine Hepburn is a spinster on vacation - alone - in Venice. She is desperately lonely and sad. She meets Rossano Brazzi. The use of the word spinster, the overblown language, the handling of the topic itself - all of these things bugged me. I would recommend you rent Monkey Business or African Queen or Desk Set instead. (I believe she's a spinster in the last two, and it's not sad or weird in those films, but kind of cool.) That's a big spectrum of her work, and they're all better than this.
