Anna Magnani and Burt Lancaster starred in The Rose Tattoo (1955) which was a film adaptation of Tennessee William's stage play of the same name. Williams wrote the play for the Italian Magnani to play on Broadway in 1951, but at the time, she turned down the role because of her difficulty with the English language. By the time the movie was to be filmed, she was ready, and she won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her performance. The film won two more Oscars for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography.
