    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Director Luchino Visconti intended the leading roles to be played by Alain Delon and Romy Schneider. But Delon was under long-term contract and the $1,000,000 that his producers wanted to release him was considered too much, and Schneider was pregnant at the time, so Visconti had to work with Laura Antonelli and the little-known at the time Giancarlo Giannini.
    • Quotes
      • Giuliana Hermil: It's too luxurious.
      • Tullio Hermil: [Pontificating] Peasants always like to see their masters well-dressed.
    • Crazy credits
      The credits are shown over the novel "L'innocente." A man's hand is turning the pages of the book. It is actually the hand of Visconti himself.
