Rossellini’s “Woman” (“Desiderio” - 1946) plus Gassman in “Shamed” (“Preludio d'amore” - 1946) An Italian double bill that circulated widely, if slowly, during the 1950s and early 1960s.

The film was withdrawn by the management after the Saturday matinee showing for insufficient business. And it’s such a wonderful movie!

The film with Jack Lemmon and Virna Lisi had to have been the 1965 “How to Murder Your Wife.”

I don’t think this film played much if at all in the US at the time. It was revived in November 2021 by the Roxie in San Francisco.
