Dubbing is criminal!


I probably would have enjoyed this film but the version I started to watch was dubbed, and horribly at that. Argh, what a disappointment. Do those who dub films think the public is too dumb to read subtitles or too uneducated? I know dubbing was more frequent for Italian films prepared for the English-speaking market of the past yet what a disappointment. Shame on Amazon streaming.

However, Burt Lancaster's narration reminded of the gorgeous film "The Leopard." Burt Lancaster's performance was magical and for me, a wonderful surprise.
