Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This fictionalised account of Ingrid Bergman's affair with war photographer, Frank Capa, comes from the writer of Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinksy.

While their affair was rumoured, the (married) Bergman did begin an ill-fated romance with Capa when she visited troops in Paris.

There are emotional insights into both minds, though Capa speaks in first person to Bergman's third, but Greenhalgh's language has more than a hint of pulp romance which gives this angsty love story the cheesy, Mills & Boon treatment.
