Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Three Coins in the Fountain is a 1954 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Jean Negulesco.It centers around three American secretaries working in Rome. Frances (Dorothy McGuire), the oldest, has lived in Rome for 15 years as the personal secretary/Girl Friday to famous author John Frederick Shadwell. Anita (Jean Peters) is a secretary for the "United States Distribution Agency", which apparently is some sort of American press service. Anita is planning to soon return to the United States. She has a mutual and mutually unacknowledged attraction with one of the interpreters at the agency, Giorgio. Finally there is the new arrival, Maria (Maggie McNamara), Anita's replacement at the USDA. She seems most focused on finding a husband, and sets her cap for wealty Prince Dino di Cessi.This film was made during the "Hollywood on the Tiber" era when Rome became popular as a shooting location. It won Academy Awards for Best Original Song (see Title Theme Tune below) and Best Cinematography.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Remade as The Pleasure Seekers (1964), also directed by Jean Negulesco and starring Ann-Margret, which changes the setting to Madrid; and again as the Made-for-TV Movie Coins in the Fountain (1990), starring Loni Anderson.

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: Shadwell goes to a doctor because he's having headaches; he leaves talking about a "death sentence" and making plans for his own funeral. The words "brain cancer" are never said.

Drowning My Sorrows: After finding out that he has terminal brain cancer, Shadwell goes to a restaurant and orders six double scotches (they won't let him order a bottle). Frances, who has found out his secret, meets him at the restaurant and orders six double scotches herself.

At the Opera Tonight: Part of Maria's campaign to land Dino as a husband involves her pretending to like opera. They go to see a performance of Rossini.

The Alleged Car: Giorgio's family's car lacks a horn and also lacks brakes. When they need to stop, several family members jump out and push against the car until it stops.
