What happens

Wild is the Wind is a 1957 American drama film directed by George Cukor and starring Anna Magnani, Anthony Quinn, and Anthony Franciosa. It tells the story of an American rancher who, after his wife dies, goes to Italy to marry her sister, but finds that she falls in love with his young ranch hand. The screenplay was adapted by Arnold Schulman from the 1947 Italian film Fury, which was in turn loosely based on Giovanni Verga's novella La Lupa. The title song, "Wild Is the Wind", was performed by Johnny Mathis. The Italian title was 'Selvaggio è il vento', literal translation of the original English. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
