With so much of the great director's work available (if often frustratingly out of print), why not this wonderful finale to his career? Along with Conversation Piece, let's hope these unique late works from Visconti soon find their way to first class DVD productions.

shareLooks like it is finally available on DVD!I have this http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews5/linnocente.htm and must say that I found it a lot better than the Beaver's review lets on. It is certainly watchable. I have seen worse, and I have also seen a lot worse.
I was surprised by how good this was, too. I would have liked some more melodrama and throbbing music (I'm such a romantic) pushed into the last few scenes, but European directors from that period don't ladel the (manipulative) emotion on in that way, like we do here in the U.S.
I didn't know anything about the plot, as I was watching it for Jennifer O'Neill's performance, but I thought the story was very interesting, and kept me thinking.
It was also VERY unusual to see a male character from the 1800's not freak out/be devastated by some marital twists and turns. Usually these stuffed shirts cast their spouse from the ancestral home, calling them a damnable whore, etc., and I really lose interest in the story, thinking, "Oh please, Mary. Take an asprin."
