Cast

Plot

American spinster Jane Hudson has finally saved enough to take the trip of a lifetime and she hopes Venice will bring a spark of magic into her life. Overwhelmed by the beauty of her surroundings her holiday becomes all the more special when she encounters a charming antiques dealer and is swept off her feet. Could true love finally be hers just as she had accepted it was never to be? This delicately handled love story marked David Lean's first colour film and purportedly his own personal favourite. Katherine Hepburn shines in the leading role and both director and star were nominated for Oscars.
