From a subgenre of 50s Broadway plays - gay writers telling stories about spinster, dreamy women who "unlock their love" via encounter with a hot stud. Here it's middle aged Katherine Hepburn (Shirley Booth played the role on Broadway - very different!), going to Venice, having a fling with Rossano Brazzi.
It's a very simple story - they meet, they root, she dumps him rather than the other way around, she leaves. Nice views of Venice. Beautifully shot like all Lean movies. Admires of Hepburn and Brazzi will enjoy it.
