About this piece
Jane confronts Renato about him being married
Summary
A lonely American woman, Jane Hudson (Katharine Hepburn), goes on vacation to Venice. There she meets a charming Italian antiques-shop owner Renato De Rossi (Rossano Brazzi) and has an affair with him. In this scene Jane confronts Renato after she finds out he is married and has lied to her. He tells her that he is separated from his wife and, in a brilliant monologue, tells her that after all what she wanted was an affair and is behaving like a spoiled child. At the end of the scene they make up and he takes her out.
