Made in 1954, this romantic drama is worth seeing for Katharine Hepburn’s portrayal of an Akron, Ohio, schoolteacher visiting Venice and finding more than one eager suitor. But it’s also worth watching because it was directed by the cinematic visual genius David Lean, who directed the film with an eye on capturing all the beauty and variety of Venice he could pack in each frame.
