When I first saw it in New York at the Museum of Modern Art in November 1971, Rossellini himself was present. I spoke to him afterward in the lobby where he autographed my program.
The film was widely circulated under the title “Woman” or “Rossellini’s ‘Woman’” and played a lot of theatres across the country, including drive-ins, together with “Shamed” (Preludio d'amore) a non-Rossellini companion piece with Vittorio Gassman. That double bill played Providence’s Uptown in 1961.
