Story of a Love Affair, released in the United Kingdom as Chronicle of a Love, is a 1950 Italian drama film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni in his feature-length directorial debut. The film stars Massimo Girotti and Lucia Bosè in lead roles. Despite some neorealist background, the film was not fully compliant with the contemporary Italian neorealist style both in its story and image, featuring upper-class characters portrayed by professional actors. Ferdinando Sarmi was, however, a fashion designer rather than a professional actor. Its story was inspired by the James M. Cain novel The Postman Always Rings Twice. In the film, the camera pans the same street corner in Ferrara, the director's native city, that appears in his film Beyond the Clouds forty-five years later. In 1951, the film won the Nastro d'Argento Award for Best Original Score and the Special Nastro d'Argento for "human and stylistic values".
