Film making doesn't get any more georgeous.......Visconti working with Zeffirelli!
Spectacular staging, set design and musical interpretation!
I wonder how the film would have taken form with Bergman and Brando.....Visconti's first choices for the leads.........Nevertheless, this great film works as grand scale Opera in the older Stage Theater format...splendidly.......despite the many moments when the cast momentarily lost their connection to the depths of personal emotional involvement that may have been completed by involvement with Stanislavsky's newer acting methods.......
