La Visita (The Visit). 1963. Italy. Directed by Antonio Pietrangeli. In Italian; English subtitles. 86 min.

Screenplay by Antonio Pietrangeli, Gino De Santis, Ruggero Maccari, Ettore Scola. With Sandra Milo, François Périer, Mario Adorf. Adapted from a story by Carlo Cassola (La ragazza di Bube), Pietrangeli’s exquisite miniature describes the daylong encounter of two would-be lovers who meet through a lonely-hearts ad. Adolfo (the French performer François Périer) is a fussy Roman bookstore clerk who travels to the Po Valley to meet Pina (Sandra Milo), who works for an agricultural supply firm. Worried that their marriagable days are coming to an end, the two have already decided to fall in love with each other—but first they have to get acquainted.

This film accompanies Antonio Pietrangeli: A Retrospective.
