The article discusses actress Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman's divorce from director Peter Lindstrom, and marriage to Roberto Rossellini, an Italian. It states that both the divorce and marriage decree came from Mexico, while Bergman and Rossellini were in Rome, Italy. The reason for this was that Bergman had divorced Lindstrom earlier in Mexico, but as a Swede, her government did not recognize Mexico's authority. When the latter sent the decree to Italy, its government required the Church to recognize it, leaving her free to remarry under Italian law.
