The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (2003 film)

The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone is a 2003 made-for-television romantic drama film and a remake of the 1961 film of the same name based on the 1950 novel of the same title by Tennessee Williams. The film premiered on May 4, 2003 on Showtime.

Plot

The film follows the odyssey of Karen Stone, an actress who loses her husband to a heart attack. In Rome, she meets a contessa and another man with other romantic intentions and interests that have nothing to do with Mrs. Stone.[1][2][3]

Production

The screenplay was written by Martin Sherman, based on the Tennessee Williams novel.[3][1] Variety noted that he "distills the essence of the story — a repressed woman’s sexual awakening — into a provocative piece that relies as much on visuals as it does narrative."[1] The film was directed by Robert Allan Ackerman and produced by James Flynn and Morgan O'Sullivan. It was shot on location in Dublin and Rome.[1] It is Bancroft's final film appearance.
