Ingrid Bergman Candidatte; Finally Interpreted: Alida Valli
(Luchino Visconti's dream team was Bergman and Marlon Brando. "The Americans wouldn't have him," recalled scenarist Suso Cecchi d'Amico, "as he wasn't famous yet. They were pushing Fairley Granger. I don't remember why Bergman did not stay - perhaps another film. I never thought she was right for the part. Alida Valli was a logical choice to maintain an international balance: an Italian actress v an American actor." Truth is that the married Ingrid's "scandalous" lover was another Italian film-maker - Roberto Rossellini - and so very jealous and refused to let her work for anyone but himself.")
