What would happen if Travis Bickle’s cringe-inducing date from “Taxi Driver” was stretched out over an entire weekend in the North of Italy? Thanks to “The Visitor” (“La Visita”, 1963), we have our answer.

Pina (Sandra Milo) is an independent businesswoman living in rural Italy. But she’s unwed and approaching 40-years-old, and longing for a change in her life. She places a personal ad in the newspaper (readers under 40: think Match.com, but with ink, paper and more desperation) stating her desire to find a man and marry. Of the potential suitors who reply, Adolfo di Palma (François Périer), an older bookseller in Rome, seems the most promising. The story begins as he arrives in northern Italy to meet Pina in person.
