The breakdown:
In 1965 Iowa, a lonely married Italian woman and a National Geographic photographer fall in love and have a brief affair.

This movie I had heard a lot about and finally had an afternoon to kill so I watched it.

It starts off with two children meeting with their deceased mother's attorney about her final wishes and will.  This starts them on a journey of discovering that their mother had a four day love affair with a man who came into town only briefly for his job.
The rest of the movie is a flashback to tell the story of how they met and all that happens after.

This is a very good romantic movie and I do not want to spoil anything for you.  (By the way, me telling you that the woman is dead at the beginning of the movie doesn't affect anything in the story so don't worry).

Anyways, if you love dramas, or romance movies this one is a winner.

I haven't read the book, but now, I might have to.  It is made to look like it would be based on a true story, but it is a complete work of fiction by the author.

I give it 4 out of 5 stubs for being surprisingly sexy and intensely romantic.
