The argument escalates and they break up. Heading in separate ways and taking to the streets, they both meet and spend the night with strangers.

Awards and Nominations:
Best Music, Original Song Score and Its Adaptation or Best Adaptation Score nomination (Academy Awards, 1983)
Restoration:
The restoration, supervised by Francis Ford Coppola, was made in 4K by American Zoetrope and Roundabout Entertainment in the US. The 4K scans were lifted from the original camera negative, and great efforts have been made to add thirteen minutes of original camera negative, restoring opticals and dupe negative. The restoration was approved by Francis Ford Coppola himself, as six minutes of IP were added to replace the original negative that was thought to be destroyed in a flood in Rome where the negative was kept.
