Claudia Cardinale stars in this lesser known work from Italian master, Luchino Visconti. It has the unfortunate place of coming right after Visconti's masterpiece, The Leopard and the comparison is embarrassing at times. It's not one of the director's finest films. Cardinale, however, was well utilized for all of her sensuality. The film was controversial at the time for incestuous themes, but now it's a bore and a forgotten memory from a director who has made far better.
