The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961, 122 minutes) stars Vivien Leigh as Karen Stone, a recently widowed former actress who travels to Rome seeking a fresh start, and Warren Beatty as Paolo, a young Italian gigolo who becomes entangled in her life. The story follows Karen as she navigates loneliness, desire, and the complexities of a cross-generational relationship, confronting the tension between fantasy and reality. The film explores themes of aging, vulnerability, and the pursuit of connection against the backdrop of glamorous yet isolating Rome.
This film is being shown in conjunction with the Tennessee Williams Key West Festival, honoring the playwright whose work inspired this elegant, emotionally charged drama.
