The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone
The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone is a 1961 romantic drama film directed by José Quintero from a screenplay by Gavin Lambert and Jan Read, and starring Vivien Leigh, Warren Beatty and Lotte Lenya. It is an adaptation of the 1950 novel by Tennessee Williams, about a middle-aged actress (Leigh) who starts an affair with a younger male gigolo (Beatty) after her husband's death. This was the only theatrical film by Quintero, mainly a theatre director. It was produced by Louis de Rochemont and distributed by Warner Bros. Despite a poor showing at the box office, The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone was well-received by critics, and Williams considered it the finest film adaptation of any of his works. Lotte Lenya was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for her performance.
