A Matter of Time is a 1976 American-Italian musicalfantasy film starring Liza Minnelli and Ingrid Bergman, directed by Vincente Minnelli. The screenplay, by John Gay, is based on the novel The Film of Memory (La Volupté d'être) by Maurice Druon. The fictional story is based loosely on the real life exploits of the infamous Italian eccentric, the Marchesa Casati, whom Druon knew during her declining years in London while he was stationed there during World War II. The film marked the first screen appearance for Isabella Rossellini, the last for Charles Boyer, and it proved to be Vincente Minnelli's final project.^[2]

Plot[edit]

The film opens at a mid-1950s press conference, where scenes are shown for an upcoming film starring Nina (Liza Minnelli), a popular screen celebrity. While on her way to the conference, Nina looks at herself in an ornate mirror, which triggers a flashback to her arrival in Rome, when she was 19 years old. Her cousin, Valentina (Tina Aumont), has arranged for her to work as a chambermaid in a dilapidated hotel.

In the course of her duties, Nina meets an ailing, eccentric Senora Contessa Sanziani (Ingrid Bergman), who was once the toast of Europe. The Contessa receives a visit from her husband, Count Sanziani (Charles Boyer), from whom she has been estranged for 40 years. Old quarrels are revived and Sanziani leaves the hotel, sadly telling the manager that he does not wish to be informed if anything should happen to his wife.

After having a discussion with Nina, the Contessa decides to take her under her wing and turn her into a lovely and sophisticated woman. Nina is troubled by a birthmark on her forehead, but the Contessa assures her that someday important men will be eager to press their lips to it. One evening, the Contessa summons Nina to her room and shows her a scarlet sari an Indian ambassador had once given her.

She insists that Nina undress and places the sari on her. The Contessa then cuts Nina's long, dark hair and puts makeup on her and transforms the maid into a beautiful woman. Nina tells the Contessa she wishes she could be just like her, but the Contessa says that is a silly desire. While listening to the Contessa's stories, Nina imagines herself living out the Contessa's existence, triggering a series of fantasy sequences, all set in elaborate settings such as casinos and Venetian palazzos.

On a rare day off from work, Nina explores Rome and begins to sense the wonderful possibilities that may lie in store for her. That evening, while she is performing a task for the Contessa, the latter suffers a mental breakdown. The manager of the hotel, angered by the Contessa's wailing, insists that she must leave the hotel within a few days.

The next morning, Nina seeks help from Mario (Spiros Andros), a frustrated screenwriter who lives in the hotel. She has brought with her some of the Contessa's old stock certificates, hoping that Mario will be able to determine their worth. Mario tells her the certificates are worthless and that he feels no pity for the Contessa. Nina reacts angrily and leaves his room.

Later on, Nina goes to a bank and finds that Mario was very nearly right. Most of the certificates are, indeed, worthless, but one, from the Bank of Congo, is worth enough to pay the Contessa's hotel bill for several weeks – ₤150,000 (about US$240 in 1954, the year the film takes place).^[a]

She uses part of this money to help pay the Contessa's hotel expenses. That same day, Nina goes to a restaurant to pick up the Contessa's dinner. A screen director, Antonio Vicari (Gabriele Ferzetti), sees Nina in the restaurant and asks Mario, who is writing a screenplay for him, to introduce him to the young woman. The introduction is made, and arrangements are made for Nina to have a screen test.

Before she leaves for the studio, she finds that the Contessa has abruptly checked out of the hotel to find an old flame, Gabriele d'Orazio (Orso Maria Guerrini). The Contessa is no longer thinking clearly; she hurries into the street and is hit by a car. She is taken, unconscious, to a Catholic charity hospital.

Meanwhile, Nina has difficulties with her screen test, until Mario gets her to talk about the Contessa. Her subsequent show of passion impresses Vicari, who decides he wants Nina to star in his next picture.

Nina hurries off the set, and after a search, she and Mario locate the hospital where the Contessa is under the care of Sister Pia (Isabella Rossellini, her real-life daughter, in her first film role). Nina is taken to the Contessa's bedside, but the old woman has just died. Deeply saddened, Nina takes the Contessa's ornate mirror as a remembrance and leaves the hospital.

The film jumps forward to the present time. Nina has become a motion picture star. She arrives at the press conference. As she steps out of her limousine, a girl hurries up and says she wants to be just like Nina when she grows up.

Production[edit]

The novel had been adapted for the stage by Paul Osborne as La Contessa in 1965 and starred Vivien Leigh in the title role. Minnelli read the book in 1966, but only obtained the film rights in 1973. He raised the funds via Jack H. Skirball, a sometime producer. Eventually American International Pictures agreed to co-finance with Italian producer Giulio Sbarigia.^[3]

Shooting began in February 1975 in Rome and Venice and was meant to take 14 weeks; however, the movie went behind schedule. Minnelli's cut of the movie was over three hours.^[3]

Cost-conscious American International Pictures executives, dismayed by filming delays and rising expenses, wrested control of the film from Vincente Minnelli.^[4] Liza Minnelli's then husband Jack Haley Jr. re-cut the film down to 97 minutes. Vincente Minnelli later disowned it, and fellow director Martin Scorsese took out ads in the trade papers chastizing AIP for its treatment of the screen legend.^[3]

The film, released in Italy as Nina, was shot on location in Rome and Venice.

John Kander and Fred Ebb wrote 'The Me I Haven't Met Yet' and the title tune.'Do It Again' by George Gershwin and Buddy G. DeSylva also was heard in the film, performed by Nina (Liza Minnelli) in the ballroom of a Venetian palazzo.

Critical reception[edit]

In his review in The New York Times, Vincent Canby wrote 'It is full of glittery costumes and spectacular props. It is performed by talented, sophisticated people who adopt the faux-naif gestures of an earlier show-biz tradition, and though it is expensive, it sounds peculiarly tacky...the film has the air of an operetta from which the music has been removed. It's even acted that way...Because A Matter of Time has moments of real visual beauty, and because what the characters say to each other is mostly dumb, it may be a film to attend while wearing your earplugs.'^[5]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called it 'a fairly large disappointment as a movie, but as an occasion for reverie, it does very nicely. Once we've finally given up on the plot – a meandering and jumbled business – we're left with the opportunity to contemplate Ingrid Bergman at 60. And to contemplate Ingrid Bergman at any age is, I submit, a passable way to spend one's time...she possesses a radiant screen personality...for people who love movie romance, A Matter of Time must have seemed like a dream project. And yet the movie just doesn't hold together.'^[6]

In Time, Jay Cocks wrote 'It makes for an awkward occasion: a group of gifted people working so far below their best talents that everything takes on the giddy air of a runaway charade...the movie could have worked with hard effort and a little magic, but something has gone terribly wrong. Director Minnelli's once wondrous alchemy turns everything to lead. The movie is disjointed, sappy, hysterical; and the actors, perhaps sensing trouble, press on with painful, overbearing desperation...A Matter of Time does not look at all like a Minnelli movie. The fastidious craftsmanship that he has through the years expended even on the lowliest undertaking is nowhere in evidence.'^[7]

Notes[edit]

^An Italian lira was worth about 1/625th of a U.S. dollar in 1954, i.e., 1.6 mills, so ₤150,000 was worth $240. In 2020 terms, that would be about $2280.

Not hard to solo, use the item given near the glowing silos and some larvas will spawn.
Between 1-3 at start, and between 1-6 over time. They hit weak and slow though, so its not that bad.
Gives Counting Out Time
Done as 58 Warrior.

Comment by Mikezila

This is a really easy quest to solo. Done as a paladin at level 56.

Comment by mgarland

Not hard for 57 Hunter - Used Scatter shot to back away from the parasites and immediately called pet back in to attack. When no more parasites are present you will need to be sure to get near a silo that is glowing in order for mare larva to spawn. Fun quest.

Comment by kreghx

1st tower: 2+1(spawn)
2nd tower: 2+2(spawn)
3rd tower: 2+9(the 9 spawned one at a time so i was always fighting 2 at once)
good luck ;)

Comment by h4rr0d

i just did this Q, it seems, that initialy you spawn 2-3 mobs, and then, there is chance to spawn another mob on death of those already spawned. i went 12/15 to last tower, then 3 mobs spawned initially, and another 5 spawned during time. i just run away leaving two alive because i was sick of this blizzard irony things:S

Comment by Flanker

Uh, it wasn't that easy for me. 57 Rogue, Cold blood/Prep spec. Three spawned the first time, I was able to kill one and then had to vanish, but got attacked out of vanish, so I had to prep and vanish again. Another one had spawned after I killed the first one. Tried going back to them, but they see through stealth so I aggro'd. You can't pull them one at a time, as a Rogue anyway. I don't know what the above comments are about but when 3 mobs at continously beating on you, it doesn't feel like they hit weak and slow. I died after they detected me. Tried to go back to give it another shot, and killed 2 more but died again.
I did notice though that as I was fighting on the metal rail/track sort of thing, if I jumped off, the parasites has to go a long way around to get to me. This occasionally gave me time to bandage and get some energy back, but didn't do too much in the long run.
I went back yet again and there was only one left. This spec is fine for 1v1 PvE so I just stunlocked it to death. Tried summoning them again and another 3 spawned. I gave up at this point, didn't feel like dieing to mobs again.
If you're a Combat rogue using swords you could probably do this easier, but if you're a dagger rogue...don't bother. They all have around 3K hp and hit for ~80 normal and crit for ~180 on 1.5K armor. There were 3 of em for me so I got hit and crit a lot.

Comment by jabbe

Soloed as lvl 54 mage, easy :p

Comment by 24272

Soloed this quest as a 57 priest, the disturbing thing is that these maggots slow u, reducing ur cast time, movement speed, each time you use the quest object by a silo u get (well i did anyway) up to three maggots showing up and sometimes when u kill one another one shows up... had to leave combat a few times to get mana but that wasnt a big deal. Easily done as a AoE class i guess...

Comment by 16432

If you use the area around 53,70 you can jump into the water and drop aggro. Very useful for questing at lower levels. Soloed as 53 rogue.

Comment by goldenarms

8 spawned for me they just kept spawning lvl 58 paladin

Comment by Eversion

If you're a class that can heal, heal right after the slow disappears, because then you won't have the slowing on your heal, even if you get a new one on you.
It's very easy for a shaman, just put down a grounding totem, and you'll have like 50% of the time slow casted on your totem. If you're enhancement, use shamanistic rage and you are fine. Died once, but after that i was very lucky, one spawned and out of that one came another one and this 5 times, so i was just fighting 6 mobs after eachother instead all in one fight.

Comment by 35354

Can i ask? Could someone publish screenshots of these Andorhal Silos ? Please publish some

Comment by 60779

Found the buildings with the blue glow at the East or Northeast-ish outskirts of Andorhal. I did this quest with a 61 warrior, I myself, a 57 druid. Hehe, no problems at all. Really easy! I hope the locationsI gave really helps in finding the stuff, because we took 30min to find them.

Comment by Abracadaver

Something to note, when they die, the parasites might spawn another one, but ONLY if they're close to the silo when they die.
The second silo I tried the mobs kept spawning until I ran far away from the silo and killed the parasites.

Comment by 69806

just use the item near the glowing towers and the bugs come out

Comment by 72190

when you kill a monster there is a chance that there will come somemore......... the perfect place to make this quest is in the middle of 3 of the kind of towers cords (49,69)

Comment by 67448

Did this as a 54 hunter BM spec.
it was real easy, just have your pet tank everything.. feign death if you take aggro, freeze trap will sometimes get resisted so have your pet growl.
coords, on 49,69 were great thxs loads.

Comment by 43040

Neither Agree nor Disagree. I am doing this as a lvl 56 Nightelf Duel-Dagger Rogue, Shadowstep.
Yes: This is insane for any rogue of any spec - more or less in general theory - due to their ability to see through stealth and vanish. And energy consumption hits us hard doing this. Mainly because they cast a 'Slow' effect that hits us for 60% speed. But...
No: Do not skip this just because you are rogue. Of any build.
Vanish does work, but in a very limited way. If you vanish, they have to cast some sort of spell effect that allows them to see you and you have to be within the radius of effect. - I did it. I used sprint, evade, then vanish and ran. They left me alone. I saw one of the things cast that little blue sphere on its head and bam... it charged at me since I was close.
If you have distract, use it as a tape measure for what I am saying. These things keep spawning like crazy near the silos. - As noted above / below. - I found that 30 yards is a good distance away from the silo to avoid another spawn. (Be sure to kill 2 of the ghouls / skeletons to avoid aggro.)
How did I measure the 30 yards?? My current Distract is a 30 yard radius. So, from one edge of the AoE circle, to the other edge is 30 yards.
Out of that sphere - 30 yards from the silo. If you have 2 of them, fight and kill one. Then blind the other and heal (you should have Heavy Runecloth Bandages at this point).
Doing the above, allows you to kill the last one being nicely healed and AWAY from their re-spawning area. Giving you time to wait out your Blind / Vanish CD's after they are dead.
Also, I used the same silo over and over again (at 47.3, 65.8). It doesn't take long for it to re-energize with its blue glow. That allowed me to maintain the 30 yard safety buffer I needed to complete the quest.
Posting picture for you to see what I mean.
*tip: make a macro for your bandages:
/target 'your name'
/use heavy runecloth bandage
And put it on a button, for instance: I have mine on the number 5 key.

Comment by Meteor

These are good co-ords.

Comment by 66529

The first silo I used spawned 10. 2 at first, then each time one died 1 would spawn, up to a total of 10 parasites. If I wasn't a warlock, I would have had to corpserun. Next one spawned no more than 2 parasites in one wave.
So be prepared to die if you pick an unlucky silo.

Possible to do as 53 hunter w. BM spec. Fun quest to do ^_^

Comment by Sharwenn

well not easy as a 57 Holy Priest. Need to kill one and run and kill one and run

Comment by DeadlyNinja

Soloed as 56 shadow priest, use the temporal displacer at the sylos (49, 69) if you fight them near the sylos they will spawn like crazy,(you kill one, another one spawns) so i suggest, when in trouble, run down to the river, they cant get into it.You will loose agro after few seconds and the parasites will just run back to the last spot you killed a parasite or to the sylo, giving you the chance to eat/drink and then kill them without them despawning.

Comment by 20719

Solo'd 58 enhance shaman. Most i ever got was 3 and i couldn't get them to spawn more when i killed them next to the silo's. Was actually quite a pain, waiting on the cooldown to summon more. Did at the silo's on the far eastern side that back up against The writhing Haunt

Comment by LoeZ

You can find the Silos at (49, 69).
While you might think this is an easy quest, it is not. The parasites have a nasty debuff they keep casting called 'Slow', that effectively cuts your DPS in half.
The quest item is also rather random: it can summon anything from one parasite to three parasites a time. And even more, if you are not careful and accidentally spawn the parasites from two silos.
And this is not all. After killing the initial one-to-three parasites, additional ones can spawn. So if you happen to spawn three by using the item, you might get unlucky and all of them could spawn new parasites when you kill them. That is 6 parasites to be killed with no time to rest.
And a note for all the rogues: They see thru stealth. Can't get away with vanish.
All in all: easy if you get lucky, hard as hell if unlucky.

Comment by 93074

I soloed this as a 53 feral druid, just turned into a bear and at one point took out 3 which then spawned two more.

Comment by 93074

Also, watch out for the searing ghouls nearby, they have crazy DPS, so dont be fooled by the level 55...

Comment by 11253

Soloed as a 57 feral druid in bear form,
after killing a parasite there is a chance for another one to spawn,
I had to kill 6 in a row at one point =)

Comment by 94461

Note: They can be polymorphed but either way this quest is a huge pain for mages. I suggest bringing a friend.

Comment by eiknarf05

FOR Rogues:
if you time it right you could restealth after you do the rift. and CS the critter. Do it quickly as they will see you shortly afterI did it.

Comment by 21986

A very useful tip: These guys cannot swim. Pick a silo near the moat or lake and jump in if you get in trouble. They will just hang out near the shore and you can do a full bandage and reengage them or just wait them out and they will go back and hang out by the silo where you can kill them later.

Comment by 89430

I had 9 come out of 1 silo.... Luckily I'm a feral druid (lvl 57) so it wasn't too difficult. If you can't heal yourself, I would not recommend this quest.

Comment by 98440

54 rogue here, 6 death and finally i did it.. so damn hard for us

Comment by 16521

8450 xp - 61 lvl Rogue

Comment by 97448

Easy mode on my 56 warrior ( fury specced )
Just stand near one of the flashy towers and use the displacer, some of those parasites will pop and slaughter time.. Could take 6 of em at a time but they spawned 1-3 / time

Comment by aikouka

I can't speak for certain, but it seems Blizzard (rightfully) nerfed this quest. I did it today knowing how bad it used to be and I looked at the first mob's hp and he was half health after only a second or two. So it seems Blizzard lowered their health and possibly their damage down significantly as they also did pitiful damage (about 25 on leather). In this case, I say ignore previous advice and let them spawn as many as you can handle (which should be a lot). I was able to finish with two silos.

Comment by 88457

The parasites put a slow effect on me as soon as they spawned and hit my clothy self for 30-35. They had about 685hp and I used either arcane explosion spam or frost nova+blizzard. They spawned in groups of 2-3 immediately and 1-2 spawned once the first were dead.
All in all a very easy quest :)

Comment by cece

/tloc 49 69
56 Frost Mage
It seems as though their health has been nerfed as of the 2.3 patch. I did this on 12/19/07 and each of the worms had approx. 710 health.
If you are not an aoe class and cannot take the worms, jump into the water and they should evade; making it so you can take them one by one and heal between the waves of worms.

Comment by 111992

Easy for me,a 57 feral druid.My crit mangle takes them out 1 shot regular takes 3.

Comment by 78157

really easy 4 spawn at once . Done this Q solo as lvl 54 hunter.

Comment by 116204

Cords are correct, 49,69- Easy quest - Balance spec druids, you wont have to do much, go moonkin form and make sure u have ur thorns on, they'll do most of the damage without you even touching them- did it at lvl 57, took about 5 mins :D

Comment by 122243

Easiest q ever.As a fury warrior 58 lvl took me less than 5 min .cords 46,69 and mobs have about 800 hp

Comment by 124542

hey the worms are my pets!!!! wtf i cant attack them!!! kinda bugged dude!

Comment by 88528

I just killed 4 ....... and got 2 kills. Theres a bug on this quest
But very easy for a 57 demonology warlock

Comment by kaustos

Really simple quest as a hunter.. of any spec... just plant an explosive trap.. pretty good damage initially and it still casts a dot on any more that spawn in. I also had the Chained Essence of Eranikus (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10455) that you could use if a lot spawn in at one time. Solo'd at 54 with no pet.

Comment by 121207

also some at the two silos at 45, 61. incredibly easy to solo at lvl 56

Comment by antoz

No problems soloing it at 53 druid :)

Comment by 115664

Confirmed there are 2 silos at 45,62. Spawned 7 parasites on my first go

Comment by 149769

This quest was acually glitched for me. I opened the silo and the worms spawned, but they wouldn't move at all, and after I killed one, another one spawned immediatly after. So I could AOE 3-4 down, drink up, and repeat.

Comment by 167752

soloed easily at lvl 56 warlock. they respawn very quickly. Went to my third silo to kill one more and 11 respawned.

Comment by kimsey0

After you have killed the required amount of worms you may still summon more.
As an mage (or any other AoE class) you can just walk around, summon worms, kill them and get a great XP out of it.
As a level 56 Arcane mage i got 100 XP from each of them.
They spawned aprox. 5 each time so i got 500 XP from each rift.
The respawn time of the rifts is great and i found it much more profitable to kill these than to kill and of the other monsters around.

Comment by ronaldscott

I just had 12 of these guys spawn in a row.

Comment by ivelevi

Is to easy for warlock 54

Comment by Matakias

As a 54 frost mage i did the q very quickly!All you have to do is to go to the towers you see up in the SS!Go near them and use Temporal Dicplacer!The mobs will come out ,it's easy to kill em and when you will some of these they appear more:P
Good Luck!:)

Comment by 169139

How is it possible to be 55 and have 700 HP...My 56 Rogue has 3,216...

Comment by malystryx

DEATH KNIGHTS: if you are using your ghoul, put it on passive, because if the ghoul ends up killing one of the worms you will NOT get credit for the kill.

Comment by Snickler

Just go to eastern Andorhal, theres these 4 pillar things right before the water, just use the item next to them

Comment by 287923

Easy quest for me, spawned 1-4 worms that were level 55-56 and took only a few hits to kill.
Easily soloed as a level 57 rogue.

Comment by batmanftw

soloed this quest as a level 57 elemental shaman, just under 3k hp.
they cast slow on you instantly, which could be problematic for a few classes. However, you don't need to go find more towers, the first two i used eventually started glowing again as i ran back past them. Good luck.

Comment by 424512

i soloed this as a 56 retro pally
super easy
i got 7 from one silo and didnt drop below 3/4 health
AOE's are useful
and each worm only has about 700 health (i crit in the 1000's with exorcism)

Comment by 465679

Comment by Morec0

This circumstances that surround this quest - someone tampering with the timeline - may be early work of the Infinite Dragonflight. Although Chormie suggests that it is the work of the Scourge she wasn't completely sure, and so - as she and the other Bronze Dragon's had no idea of the existance of the Infinite Flight - pointed the blame to the most powerful malevolent force known to exist in the area.

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.Use the Temporal Displacer near one of Andorhal's silos and uncover Temporal Parasites.
Slay 10 Temporal Parasites, and then return the Temporal Displacer to Chromie in the Andorhal Inn, Western Plaguelands.

Temporal Parasite slain (10)

Temporal Displacer (Provided) (1)

Description

Tampering of the timeline by a sinister force - most likely the Scourge - has occurred in Andorhal! I can try to keep the passage of time here intact and mend what has been damaged, but I'll need your help to do so uninterrupted.
Temporal parasites - carrion that feed on the strands of time's altered flow - now infest the silos of Andorhal. A blue pulse of distortion is their only visual marker. They slow my auguries; please <name>, help me by using this temporal displacer to root out these parasites.

Progress

Temporal parasites are a common malady present wherever the flow of time has been tampered with. I sense that many are present, and this is disturbing.
Rooting out whatever ones you can find will help me be able to take a better hold on the deteriorating temporal situation here. I will be able to sense when this has been achieved.

Completion

Time feels easier to mend now, thank you <name>. While you might not understand fully the consequences of a fractured timeline, I appreciate that you understand the urgency of countering what I suspect more and more to be a Scourge-driven malfeasance.
I see no harm in rewarding you for your assistance, mortal. Your greatest feats are to come, and the awarding of a bauble will certainly not alter your future destiny. Your continued aid, however, is something that I and the dragonflight could use...

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

Orchid Amice

Gold Link Belt

Gains

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
