How To Put Together A Food Processor
"By early summer I received a telegram from Tennessee Williams and went to Rome in the Jaguar (...) The purpose of the trip was that Tennessee had agreed that I write dialogues for a film that would do Luchino Visconti. The action would take place during the Austro-Italian war of the mid-nineteenth century. ..... Visconti was an affable and charming. When I was collecting six weeks and had finished the job, he said he was not satisfied the love scenes. After a week, Tennessee, that was who he initially had hoped to write the dialogues, gave him exactly what he wanted. We share the credits of the film, which eventually was titled Senso. "

What little I did in the script was, in fact, by the admiration inspired Visconti me and as thanks for giving my friend Mary, who was in dire need of it, a post production. " (TENNESSEE WILLIAMS)
