An American woman tries to break off her relationship with her Italian lover at Rome's Stazione Termini train station. This is Vittorio De Sica's original 89-minute "Terminal Station" which was released first in April 1953 as "Stazione Termini," the Italian title of Cesare Zavattini's story. A year later in May 1954, Columbia Pictures released a different version with the alternative title "Indiscretion of an American Wife" which producer David O. Selznick had re-edited and cut to a shortened 64 minutes, dramatically altering characterization by removing its establishing shots and neorealist touches.

Щемящая история, лишенная и катастрофического взрыва и катарсиса. Напряжение мрачно нарастает ввиду непроясненных и бесперспективных отношений замужней американки Мэри и итальянца Джанни Дориа. Блуждания и бесконечные объяснения любовников на вокзале, ссоры, пощечина. Вмешательство полиции, инкриминирующей двум порядочным людям публичный поцелуй в вагоне стоящего поезда и препровождающей пару в участок, чтобы, потрепав нервы и унизив, просто отпустить. В том упорстве, с каким режиссер сохраняет бессюжетность, кроется формула драматизма. Это фильм о том, что любовь может быть одновременно мимолетной и настоящей

Unlike most Italian films of the 1940s, Augusto Genina's Cielo Sulla Palude opened in Venice rather than Rome. The film's American title was Heaven Over the Marshes, and indeed most of the story is set in the disease-ridden Pontine Marshes on the outskirts of Rome. This was the home of Maria Goretti, a pious young girl who was murdered by her would-be seducer. For reasons elucidated in the course of the film, Maria's short time on earth made her worthy of Sainthood, which was actually bestowed upon her shortly after the release of this film. Maria Goretti is well-played by Ines Orsini. Cielo Sulla Palude served as the comeback feature for director Augusto Genina, whose previous pro-fascist films had caused him to be blacklisted after WW II.
