Paul is in Rome for Christmas, and when a singer doing a casual performance is harassed a bit by two loud young Americans, he comes to her rescue by asking them to settle down.</div> <bR> <div> He meets the girl, Tia,  by a nearby fountain afterwards, and they become acquainted. Tia says she is deeply touched by his gallant gesture, and he walks her home. She enters the gate of an old palazzo, explaining that her family fell on bad times during the war.

He invites her to join him when her song is over, but she wants to go to a place where she is not performing.</div> <bR> <div> Over a meal elsewhere, she asks him about being alone at Christmas, and he says that he's too busy living to be married, taking off a year from his law practice. He asks her about the palazzo, and she tells him that her mother was an aristocrat, and her part-English father, now ill, used to be a college professor at Bologna, but before the evening is over, she says he was atTorino university.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="14ac902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Tisha Sterling and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul can't help but notice Tia's expensive clothes</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Paul doesn't see Tia for a few days, then runs into her in the street, dressed at the height of elegance. He describes her as going in and out of focus, and when he remarks about not seeing her singing in any of the cafes,Tia says that she's thinking of giving up performing now that she's become engaged.</div> <bR> <div> She gets into a taxi then, and noting the address she gives the cab driver, Paul goes to the pawn shop at that location and asks about her. The pawn broker shows him the painting Tia brought in. It is not great, but like Paul, he has a weakness for her charms.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 305 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="14ae90180.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="280" ALT="Tisha Sterling and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul gives Tia some money</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> When Paul asks if she's brought anything else in, the pawnbroker brings out a brooch, and Paul redeems it for a pittance to give to Tia. He gives it to her the next time they meet, along with some money, so that she doesn't have to sing unless she wants to. She pounces on the fact that he followed her, but he gladly admits being enchanted.</div> <bR> <div> Tia kisses him, but Paul doesn't respond, and she ventures that he doesn't want to kiss her.

But when Tia adds that she never wants to see him again, and turns to go, he pulls her back, kissing her with great passion.</div> <bR> <div> Later he goes to an art dealer, and asks about the artist whose work Tia pawned, assuming it to be the father she speaks of and calls Dieter. The dealer describes his work as mediocre, and says that he's  one of the lost ones of the world. Paul is fascinated to learn that the man Tia calls Dieter is the sound of his initials, DTR, his name being D. Terrance Randall.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="14b0902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Ben Gazzara and Robert Brown in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul goes to see Randall</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> The dealer explains that Randall is from a wealthy American textile family. Paul mentions knowing the artist's daughter, but Stiner says that Randall is not married, rather living with a young girl who turns out to be named Tia.</div> <bR> <div> So Paul goes to visit the artist, and recognizing his name, Randal invites him in. Randall looks Paul over, saying he's trying to match up Tia's description with the real thing, adding that the plumed hat and white horse appear to be missing. in turn, Paul remarks that Tia's description of Randall left him expecting a much older man.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="14b1902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Ben Gazzara and Robert Brown in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Randall talks at length about his failure as a poet</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Randall acknowledges that Paul had been underwriting their household of late, and both remark on how much Tia could get from so little. Having referred to such conjuring tricks, Paul asks about the expensive outfit he'd seen her wearing, and Randal explains that he received an annual check from his family, and though he always tore them up, used the last one to buy the outfit at one of Rome's best stores, adding that Tia only wore it to go to the pawnbroker.</div> <bR> <div> The artist then points out that there's a view of Keats' house from the window, and says that he understands that Paul is a lawyer.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="14b2902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Ben Gazzara and Robert Brown in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul tells him to let Tia go</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> He asks if Paul went to Harvard, acknowledging that he was named the poet lauriat of his class there, bringing out the 1948 yearbook, and reading from it, then goes into a soliloquy about all the poets who died young, and how he outlived their age of death, one by one.</div> <bR> <div> Paul listens, becoming more annoyed by the minute at Randall's self-pitying discourse, then asks when he's going to let Tia go, so that she can make a life of her own. Eventually, he grabs Randall by the throat, then starts to leave in disgust.

She lashes back, and says it's because she didn't live in America, where everything was so simple, then adds with sadness that she had longed to tell Paul about Randall, but thought that he wouldn't understand.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 325 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="14b5902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Tisha Sterling and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul tells her that she must start telling the truth</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> He grabs her, and angrily tells her to pray that she could tell the truth just once.</div> <bR> <div> “I will tell you the truth,” Tia shouts back, sobbing, and acknowledges that she has lied to him about everything.
