When going to a movie in the 1950s and even later at the Majestic, I would also sometimes eat at the Hon Hong. Even later and I think even now, when the Majestic became Trinity Rep, people would often eat before or after at Gracie’s and other upscale restaurants which replac=ed the Chinese-American eatery.
When I received the film from the distributor, the first reel was in tatters! I had to spend an entire night splicing the broken off segments together so that it could be projected for our showing, which went well.
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.
Always in Italian with English subtitles.
It was released in France in 1997.

For many people this was Rossellini’s greatest film.
I was a kid of eight when this program played my neighborhood theatre. “Hatchet Man” intrigued me more at the time.
