Overall loved it ... but a possible incongruity
Love discovering forgotten movies with great actors in their prime working so harmoniously together ... great script, great sets, loved even the snow swirling but you hardly notice it because you're so intent on hearing what happens during the pivotal scene ....
but my question is, is this sort of crime one that was likely to have happened at that time? There was a huge proscription against homosexuality and even though this was supposed to have been pedophilia, I think ... I'm a little unsure of that because the boy was described as sturdy and shown not to have been that little ... anyway, I think the townspeople would have lumped pedophilia under homosexuality in this case. I'm sure the powerful can do anything they want in any era, but I still wonder if the particular obsession exhibited by de Guise would have been likely then.
