The Hollywood superstar often sneaked out at night with her husband Brad Pitt during her stay in Venice whilst filming. The couple chose to relocate to the Italian city with their six children whilst Jolie shot the film.
Visiting the wonderful Museums, following the cobbled streets to find hidden gems for Sunday breakfast or late night feasts, and hopping onto the ‘Vaporetto' boats as they sailed along the canals could not have been more romantic for the glamorous couple.
As for the actual romantic caper ‘The Tourist', based on the 2005 French thriller "Anthony Zimmer", it clearly sought to evoke the feel of early Hitchcock films but according to review, failed to hit the mark.
Sure, Jolie is as stunning as ever playing Elise, a mysterious, wealthy Englishwoman who obviously has an agenda behind those beguiling eyes, and Johnny Depp is quite the charmer as Frank, an ordinary community college math teacher from the U.S. captivated by her beauty after a chance encounter.
And of course, Venice, where the film is predominantly set, is picture-postcard perfect, but for the most part, that's where the enchantment and the tension in this thriller ends.
Despite the lack of "oomph" in the plot, however, the scenery remains breathtaking, Venice is almost as beautiful as the porcelain good looks of Angelina Jolie and the charisma of Johnny Depp. If nothing else, the film will certainly make you consider a holiday in Venice.
