Rossellini's own screenplay recounted a marriage similar to the seven-year itch. He was as detached as a gossamer. He saw realistic quarrels, jealousies, cold wars, etc., plus the description of Italian monuments, which is a good one for Rossellini. It's an attempt, but just like the ending, although that dialogue drew a knowing smile - the heroine "I love you, say you love me too." The hero "I said you don't take advantage of me"... In fact, the cause of the Cold War has not been solved, and it is also expected that the film's good wishes will eventually fail in reality.
