"In 1948 Ingrid Bergman — probably then the most famous movie actress in the world — came upon a Manhattan theater showing Roberto Rossellini's Paisan. Impressed by the "realism and simplicity" of his Open City two years earlier, she wandered in and watched what she called "another great movie" in a nearly empty house. Later she wrote him an admiring letter that concluded "if you need a Swedish actress who speaks English very well...and who in Italian knows only `ti amo,' I am ready to come and make a film with you.""
