An American actor is in Rome to shoot a film about the life of the Italian writer Cesare Pavese, together with a beautiful British actress. The film tells the story of the never reciprocated love between Pavese and actress Constance Dowling. The two actors live a true love story, parallel to the one they are acting.
Un homme amoureux (A man in love) had problems with censorship in England, also because of a lesbian scene that does not actually exist, because of the actress Greta Scacchi simply describes a lesbian fantasy of hers while she is in bed with a man. However, there are some scenes with Greta Scacchi nude: a breathtaking body.
