Trivia:
During production of this film, 'Ingrid Bergman' entered into an extra-marital affair with Roberto Rossellini and became pregnant. The resulting scandal in America effectively blacklisted her from the North American movie market and she was even condemned by politicians and religious figures. She was finally forgiven and welcomed back to America upon the success of Anastasia (1956), but her Hollywood career was temporarily ended by this movie. more

Peculiar, curious enterprise involving spoiled Lithuanian woman in a WWII Italian camp who begrudgingly marries a poor Italian fisherman; after moving with him to the remote island Stromboli, the woman encounters hostility from the locals, abuse from her spouse, and plots her escape. Melodramatic material served as Ingrid Bergman's first feature with director Roberto Rossellini, with whom Bergman ran away with in real-life (leaving her husband behind, which sullied her reputation for almost six years). Banned nationwide, the film isn't very good but does have an ambiance that is unlike anything being turned out by American filmmakers during this period. The pacing is slow, the narrative murky, and there are two embarrassing scenes wherein Bergman is called upon to act like a tart, but cinema buffs should enjoy it. Shown in two versions: an 81-minute print and the longer 107-minute Italian cut which has a different ending. ** from ****
