  • <p>January 22, 1956. I never before found any theatre in America that showed this now-widely-admired, even visionary, Rossellini film as a single feature when it first came out here, including New York. At the time it was considered a “film maudit” and consigned to the dust-bin of obscure double features and late-night television. Here it is in Tallahassee, Florida. Original title: “Viaggio in Italia/Voyage to Italy.”</p>
