Collection of films by Roberto Rossellini starring Ingrid Bergman.
In the Second World War drama 'Stromboli' (1950), Lithuanian
refugee Karen (Bergman) marries an Italian fisherman named Antonio
(Mario Vitale) to escape from a prison camp. She is filled with
romantic notions as her husband takes her to his home on the island
of Stromboli but her dreams of an idyllic paradise are shattered by
the reality of a barren, desolate landscape. She finds herself
frowned upon by the local women who are suspicious of the foreigner
and decides to leave the island, but her plan to raise enough money
for her departure involves seducing the local priest (Renzo
Cesana). In 'Journey to Italy' (1954) wealthy English couple
Katherine Joyce (Bergman) and her husband Alex (George Sanders)
travel to Italy to sell a villa they have inherited. Far from their
London home, Katherine confesses to having had a secret lover and
finds her husband becomes even more distant with her; to such an
extent that they decide to finish their holiday apart. Whilst Alex
enjoys the company of other expatriates on the island of Capri,
Katherine tours around the sights of Naples and Pompeii. However,
the different events they experience begin to bring the couple back
together. In 'Fear' (1954) Irene Wagner (Bergman) has an affair
with Erich Baumann (Kurt Kreuger) while her husband, the prominent
German scientist Professor Albert Wagner (Mathias Wieman), is out
of town. Despite her infidelity, she is still madly in love with
her husband and is tormented by guilt and fears him discovering her
illicit affair. Her increasing anxiety is compounded when Erich's
jealous ex-lover Johann (Renate Mannhardt) discovers their secret
and blackmails her, sending Irene into a suicidal rage.
